## CBSE Class 9 Math Syllabus for 2014-15

In the course of preparation, one of the most important things to remember is to have a proper syllabus of the concerned subject(s). A proper syllabus not only lets you prepare in the most systematic way, but also in a comprehensive manner. The CBSE Class 9 Maths Syllabus for 2014-15 has been designed to not only equip students with all the mathematical know-how required at this level, but also to help them further in higher studies. The syllabus of Class 9 helps students in building a strong concept which is required for Class 10 and entrance examinations. Given below is the detailed structure of CBSE Class 9 Maths Syllabus for 2014-15.

• (Theorem) 2. (Prove) Two distinct lines cannot have more than one point in common.
2. LINES AND ANGLES 1. (Motivate) If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of the two adjacent angles so formed is 180° and the converse. 2. (Prove) If two lines intersect, vertically opposite angles are equal. 3. (Motivate) Results on corresponding angles, alternate angles, interior angles when a transversal intersects two parallel lines. 4. (Motivate) Lines which are parallel to a given line are parallel. 5. (Prove) The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. 6. (Motivate) If a side of a triangle is produced, the exterior angle so formed is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles. 3. TRIANGLES 1. (Motivate) Two triangles are congruent if any two sides and the included angle of one triangle is equal to any two sides and the included angle of the other triangle (SAS Congruence). 2. (Prove) Two triangles are congruent if any two angles and the included side of one triangle is equal to any two angles and the included side of the other triangle (ASA Congruence). 3. (Motivate) Two triangles are congruent if the three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of the other triangle (SSS Congruene). 4. (Motivate) Two right triangles are congruent if the hypotenuse and a side of one triangle are equal (respectively) to the hypotenuse and a side of the other triangle. 5. (Prove) The angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal. 6. (Motivate) The sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal. 7.
