Q2(ii):
Give two different examples of pair of (ii) non-similar figures.
Solution :
Given: The requirement to provide two distinct examples of pairs of non-similar figures.
To Find: Two pairs of geometric figures that do not satisfy the criteria for similarity.
Theoretical Context: Two polygons are said to be similar if:
- Their corresponding angles are equal.
- Their corresponding sides are in the same ratio (i.e., proportional).
If either of these conditions is violated, the figures are classified as non-similar.
Step 1: Analyzing Example 1 (Scalene Triangle and Equilateral Triangle)
Let $T_1$ be a scalene triangle with side lengths $3\text{ cm}, 4\text{ cm},$ and $5\text{ cm}$.
Let $T_2$ be an equilateral triangle with side lengths $4\text{ cm}, 4\text{ cm},$ and $4\text{ cm}$.
Justification:
- The corresponding angles of $T_1$ are not equal to the corresponding angles of $T_2$. In $T_2$, all angles are $60^\circ$, whereas in $T_1$, the angles are approximately $36.87^\circ, 53.13^\circ,$ and $90^\circ$.
- The ratio of corresponding sides is not constant: $\frac{3}{4} \neq \frac{4}{4} \neq \frac{5}{4}$.
Since neither condition for similarity is met, these figures are non-similar.
Step 2: Analyzing Example 2 (Rectangle and Rhombus)
Let $R_1$ be a rectangle with sides $4\text{ cm}$ and $2\text{ cm}$.
Let $R_2$ be a rhombus with all sides equal to $3\text{ cm}$.
Justification:
- In a rectangle, all interior angles are $90^\circ$. In a rhombus (that is not a square), the interior angles are not $90^\circ$.
- Because the corresponding angles are not equal, the figures cannot be similar, regardless of the side ratios.
Summary of Findings:
| Pair | Figure A | Figure B | Reason for Non-Similarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scalene Triangle | Equilateral Triangle | Angles are unequal; sides are not proportional. |
| 2 | Rectangle | Rhombus | Corresponding angles are not equal. |
Final Answer: Two examples of pairs of non-similar figures are (1) a scalene triangle and an equilateral triangle, and (2) a rectangle and a rhombus.

Coaching is about improvising a student from where he/she is at. Not about converting an already bright student into an achiever. It should be obvious. The whole idea of ONE ON ONE coaching is to improvise and to elimate the problems in a detailed manner, exactly the way a student desires. To connect and respond to a student cannot be everybodys cup of tea. This is where a capable one comes in to fill the gaps where modern day educationalists fail to fill.

I am a teacher of Mathematics and Physics. I have been teaching since my college days. After completing my college I ran a coaching institute in my home town Nainital. During that time I got selected in Income Tax department through Staff Selection Commission. As teaching has always been my passion so I continued teaching students online. Currently, I give tuitions to CBSE/ICSE students of Class IX & X on one-on-one and batch bases. I prepare students for competitive Exams like SSC CGL, Banks, Railways etc. Since Mathematics and Science of IX & X standard play a significant role in cracking competitive exams. Every student no matter from what stream has to face that competition in future. Therefore, I prepare and polish student in a way which help them a lot in a future of competitive environment. Apart from this I also take classes for Vedic Maths and Fast calculating tricks.

I have been teaching for seven years. . I am teaching maths for cbse, icse,IB (international baccalaureate)' usa and uk (precalculus, AP calculus, algebra) acdamic students up to 12 grade and students preparing for SAT, OLYMPIAD, engineering and IIT ENTRANCE . Besides this I am also teaching Physics and Chemistry. I love teaching. I have excellent communication skills, a good understanding of concepts, ability to motivate students. Since every student has a different understanding level so for me its essential to know in what way students will understand and to explain them quickly. I also like to help in teaching someone who is financially weak to get an education. I can assure you to give 100% results. I will give you free demo classes and Pay me only when you will be completely satisfied with my teaching. I am btech from IIT Delhi Now I am full time in teaching
Excellent teaching capability. Young and sincere. Always punctual in class timings wish him a lot of successes
