IN THIS PROJECT WE WILL

HIGHLIGHT VARIOUS
SIMPLE APPLICATIONS OF
GEOMETRICAL FIGURES
AND SIMILARITY IN THE
DESIGNS OF VARIOUS
SPORTS GROUNDS.
STUDENTS, LET US LEARN
TO IDENTIFY SOME SIMPLE
GEOMETRICAL FIGURES
EXPLAINING THE CONCEPT OF
RECTANGLE
RECTANGLE IS A
QUADRILATERAL WHOSE
BOTH PAIR OF OPPOSITE
SIDES ARE EQUAL AND EACH
ANGLE IS 900

THE BOUNDARY OF CIRCLE IS
CALLED ‘CIRCUMFERENCE’.

THE LAY OUT (map)
OF VARIOUS COMMON
SPORTS GROUNDS
WERE SHOWN TO THE
STUDENTS SUCH AS
1.BASKETBALL GROUND
2.FOOTBALL GROUND
3.CRICKET GROUND
 FIGURES OR OBJECTS WHICH
ARE SAME IN SHAPE BUT NOT
IN SIZE ARE SIMILAR.

ALL CIRCLES, ALL SQUARES, ALL

EQUILATERAL TRIANGLES ARE
SIMILAR
•FIRST OF ALL STUDENTS
CALCULATED THE
DIMENSIONS OF THEIR LAY
OUT (MAP) OF A SPORTS
GROUND BY MAKING USE OF
SCALE FACTOR
•THEN THEY DREW THE LAY
OUT (MAP) UNDER THE
GUIDANCE OF MATH TEACHER
S. PURAN SINGH
 SCALE FACTOR IS A PROPORTIONAL
CONSTANT ‘K’ WHICH HELPS IN
DRAWING MAPS(LAY OUTS).

FOR ENLARGEMENT OF A
FIG;

FOR REDUCTION OF A
FIG;

LENGTH IN MAP = K (ACTUAL LENGTH)
SUPPOSE, WE ARE TO
CONSTRUCT A RECTANGLE
SIMILAR TO A GIVEN RECTANGLE
SUCH THAT EACH SIDE OF THE
REQUIRED RECTANGLE IS HALF
THAT OF THE ORIGINAL
RECTANGLE. SO IN THIS CASE

STUDENTS WERE ASKED TO
