Q1(ii):
Fill in the blanks using the correct word given in brackets : (ii) All squares are ______. (similar, congruent)
Solution :
Given: A set of geometric figures known as squares.
To Find: The correct term to describe the relationship between all squares, choosing between "similar" and "congruent".
Step 1: Defining Similarity of Polygons
Two polygons are said to be similar if:
1. Their corresponding angles are equal.
2. Their corresponding sides are in the same ratio (proportion).
[Definition of Similar Polygons]
Step 2: Analyzing the Properties of Squares
Let $S_1$ and $S_2$ be two squares with side lengths $a_1$ and $a_2$ respectively.
- All interior angles of any square are $90^\circ$. Therefore, the corresponding angles of $S_1$ and $S_2$ are equal ($90^\circ = 90^\circ$).
- The ratio of corresponding sides is $\frac{a_1}{a_2}$. Since all sides of a square are equal, the ratio of all pairs of corresponding sides is constant, i.e., $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{a_1}{a_2}$.
[Since all squares satisfy the criteria for similarity]
Step 3: Evaluating Congruence
Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and the same size. Since squares can have different side lengths (e.g., a square of side 2cm and a square of side 5cm), they are not necessarily congruent.
[Definition of Congruent Figures]
Step 4: Conclusion
Because all squares possess the same shape (equiangular and proportional sides) but not necessarily the same size, they are classified as similar figures.
[Logical deduction based on geometric definitions]
Final Answer: All squares are similar.

I have experience teaching Mathematics to Grade 10 students with a focus on strengthening fundamental concepts and preparing them for board examinations. I teach important topics such as Real Numbers, Polynomials, Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables, Quadratic Equations, Arithmetic Progressions, Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry, Statistics, and Probability. My teaching approach involves explaining concepts clearly, solving problems step by step, and giving regular practice from NCERT and previous years’ board exam papers. I also conduct tests, revision classes, and doubt-clearing sessions to track students’ progress. My goal is to make mathematics simple and interesting while helping students build confidence and achieve good results in their Grade 10 board exams.
Very good teacher. Patient with the students and understands where they are confused quickly. Motivates the students to be better too.
