1. Introduction
Did you know?

The highest elevation in North America is Mt. McKinley,
which is 20,237 feet above sea level. The lowest elevation is
Death Valley, which is 282 feet below sea level.
Question 1. What is the distance from the top of Mt. McKinley to the bottom of Death Valley?
Helping hand: The problem above uses the notion of opposites: Above sea level is the opposite of
below sea level. We could solve the problem above using integers. Integers are the set of whole
numbers and their opposites. Integers are represented as ‘Z’.
Did you know?

Integers were introduced by a man named Arbermouth Holst in 1563.
The Chinese were the first known culture to use negative integers.
Question 2. Define whole numbers and give some examples.

We can classify integers as,
 Positive Integers
Eg.
 Negative Integers
Eg.
 Zero
2. Introduction to Zero
Zero means nothing. It acts as a reference. For example, in Question1, the sea level can be
taken as 0. In physical terms it is called neutral level. It is a mathematical value that is
intermediate between positive and negative numbers.
Did you know?

There are different words used for the number zero depending on the context. For the
simple notion of lacking, the words nothing and none are often used. Several sports
have specific words for zero, such as nil in football, love in tennis and a duck in
cricket. It is often called „oh‟ in the context of telephone numbers. Slang words for
zero include zip, zilch, nada, and scratch.
Question 3. Which number is a whole number but not a natural number?
Question 4. Which number is neither negative nor positive integer?

Decimals: A decimal number is a fraction whose denominator can be expressed as 10 or

some higher power of 10.
Note:
 When there is no number to the left of the decimal point, a zero is written i.e, .35 is
written as 0.35
 Any extra zero written after the decimal part of a number does not changes its value.i.
e,4.6, 4.60 and 4.600 are of same value.
In decimal system, the first place represents „tenth place’, second place to the right of
decimal is called „hundredths place’ and so on.
Similarly, the first place on the left of decimal is the units place, the second place on the left
of decimals is the tens place and so on.

14. Infinity
Infinity (symbol: ∞) is an abstract concept describing something without any bound or larger
than any number. In mathematics, "infinity" is often treated as if it were a number (i.e., it
counts or measures things: "an infinite number of terms") but it is not the same sort of number
as natural or real numbers.
Did you know?

The earliest recorded idea of infinity comes from Anaximander,
a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who lived in Miletus
Did you know?

The mathematical theory of infinity was created, almost single-handedly,
by the German mathematician Georg Cantor at the end of the
19th century.

2. Visualisation of Powers and Exponents
A power is the product of multiplying a number by itself. The number which is being
multiplied is called the base and how many times the number is multiplied is called the
exponent. The exponent is written on the right top of the base.
Did you know?

The term power was first used by Greek
mathematician Euclid for the square
of a line.
 Misconception: ‘Power’ and ‘Exponent’ are same.

 Clarification:
Figure 1:Exponential form of a number
In the above figure, „ ‟ is base.

„ ‟ is exponent.
as a whole is power.

92

a. What is an Equation?
An equation is a condition on a variable. The condition is that two expressions should have equal
value. Note that atleast one of the two expression must contain the variable.
An equation remains same, when the expressions in LHS and RHS are interchanged.
Note: If there is some sign other than the equality sign between the LHS and the RHS, it is not an
equation. Thus, 2x + 2 > 65 is not an equation.
Question 4. What is the importance of an equality sign in an equation?
Question 5. What is the difference between an equation and an algebraic expression?
Equation Algebraic expression

2x + 4, 2xy – 3, x2, (x + 1) (x – 1), (2x + 1), (yzx – 9)

95

2. Solving Linear Equations
In an equation, the expression on LHS and the expression on RHS are equal and this is true only for
one value of the variable which is called the solution of the equation.
How do we solve these equations to get the value of the variable?
a. Solving equations which have linear expressions on one side and numbers on the other side.
(i) By adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing by the same number on either side.
The expressions on either side of the equation are always equal to each other. So, if some
mathematical operations are performed on both sides of an equation, the equality does not change.
Question 11. Multiply the following equations by 2 and check whether they are same before and
after.
1. 3x + 4 = 2x – 2
2. 2y + 1 = y – 1
Hint: Check whether the solution remains same or not.
Note: When both sides of an equation are multiplied, added, subtracted or divided by the same non –
zero quantity, the equality does not change. However, division by zero is not permitted, as it is not
defined.

96
Question 12. Solve the following equations:

(i) 2x – 6 = -8
(ii) 3x + 2 = -7

4. Congruence of Triangles
Let‟s do one activity in order to understand the concept of congruency:
Take two bangles of same set and try to place one on another. Write down your observation in the
given box.
Question 24. Define congruent figures.
Two triangles are congruent, if they have exactly the same shape and same size. In other words, if on
placing one over the other, they coincide.
In case of triangles, we have six parameters which are to be compared. i.e. we compare three sides
and three angles of one triangle with the other. Two triangles are said to be congruent only when all
these parameters are equal.
Figure 16:Triangle PQR and Triangle ABC

139
When ∆PQR is congruent to ∆ABC, symbolically we write ∆PQR ≅ ∆ABC.
Notice that when ∆PQR ≅ ∆ABC, then sides of ∆PQR fall on corresponding equal sides of
∆ABC and so is the case for the angles.
i.e. PQ coincide with AB, QR coincide with BC and RP coincide with CA; ∠P coincide with ∠A,
∠Q coincide with ∠B and ∠R coincide with ∠C.
From the definition it is clear that in congruent triangles, all sides and angels of one triangle are equal
to all sides and angels of another triangle. But it is not necessary to check all the sides and angles to
decide whether triangles are congruent or not. It is sufficient to check any 3 components of the
triangles to decide. Thus we have conditions for the congruency such as SAS, ASA, SSS, RHS and
AAS.
a. Criteria for Congruence of triangles:
(i) SAS congruence rule:
In the triangles ABC and PQR given below,
Side AB = side _____, side_____ = side PR and ∠BAC = ∠_______.

7. Why is Pi so irrational
a. What is an irrational number?
In mathematics, an irrational number is a real number that cannot be expressed as the ratio of
integers. Therefore, irrational numbers, when written as decimal numbers, do not terminate,
nor do they repeat.
The ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras believed that all numbers were rational, but
one of his students Hippasus proved that you could not write the square root of 2 as a
fraction, and so it was irrational.

192

b. Pi as an irrational number
Pi, which begins with 3.14, is one of the most common irrational numbers. Pi has been
calculated to over a quadrillion decimal places, but no pattern has ever been found; therefore
it is an irrational number.

A circle is a simple closed shape. It is the set of all points in a plane that are at a given
distance from a given point, the centre. equivalently it is the curve traced out by a point that
moves so that its distance from a given point is constant. The distance between any of the
points and the centre is called the radius.
The distance around a circular region is known as its .

VII CBSE Mathematics – Symmetry
proceed.
1. Basics of Symmetry
Symmetry in everyday language refers to a sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion and
balance. In mathematics, "symmetry" has a more precise definition, that an object is invariant
to a transformation, such as reflection but including other transforms too. Although these two
meanings of "symmetry" can sometimes be told apart, they are related, so they are here
discussed together. It is said that symmetry is the essence of beauty. Symmetry means an
exact match in the shape and size between parts of a body.
When this match occurs between two halves of a body or across a line drawn through the
middle of the body, we use the term linear symmetry.
Question 1. Write down some objects which are symmetrical in nature.
A geometrical figure is said to be symmetric about a line in it, if on holding the figure about
this line, the two parts of the figure exactly coincide.
2. Lines of Symmetry for Regular Polygon.
A figure is said to behave a line of symmetry if there exists a line „l‟ which divides the figure into
two halves that coincide with each other completely when folded along „l‟. The line is called the
line of symmetry.

202
Question 2. Define regular polygon.
Question 3. What is the minimum number of line segments required to construct a polygon?
Question 4. Find the lines of symmetry for:

(i) Equilateral Triangle
(ii) Square
(iii) Rectangle
Note: A shape has line of symmetry when one half of it is the mirror image of the other half.

203
Question 5. Find the axes of symmetry for the following figures:
Question 6. Take any one diagonal as a line of symmetry and shade a few more squares to make the
figure symmetric about a diagonal. Is there more than one way to do that? Will the figure be
symmetric about both the diagonals?

204
Question 7. Give four examples of shapes with no line of symmetry.
Did you know?

Human body is an perfect example of
object having one line of symmetry.
Question 8. On the occasion of Diwali, a rangoli was made by Ranjitha which was symmetrical in
nature. According to Ranjitha, that rangoli has 4 line of symmetry. State whether she is true or not?

205
Question 9. What other name can you give to the line of symmetry of
(i) An isosceles triangle

(ii) A circle
Did you know?

Whenever you will fold your right hand in front
of mirror, it will look like you are folding your
left hand.
Note: A figure which does not change upon undergoing a reflection has reflectional symmetry. In 2D
there is a line/axis of symmetry, in 3D a plane of symmetry. An object or figure which is
indistinguishable from its transformed image is called mirror symmetric.

206

3. Rotational Symmetry
What can you say about the rotation of blades of a ceiling fan?
Do they rotate clockwise or anticlockwise?
Or do they rotate both ways?

When an object rotates, its shape and size does not change. The rotation turns an object
about a fixed point. This fixed point is the centre of rotation.
Question 10. Give three examples each for (i) a clockwise rotation (ii) anti – clockwise rotation.

207

Question 10. Define angle of rotation.
