Lab Manual: Verify that the Parallelograms on the Same Base - Class 9 PDF Download

Objective

To verify experimentally that the parallelograms on the same base and between same parallel lines are equal I in area.

Materials Required
Graph paper, Two wooden strips, Nails, Elastic strings, A plywood piece, Adhesive

Prerequisite Knowledge
Concept of parallelogram & Area of a parallelogram

Theory

  • Parallelogram: A quadrilateral in which both pairs of opposite sides are parallel, is called parallelogram and it is written as || gm.

Fig. 20.1

In Fig. 20.1, ABCD is a parallelogram in which AB||CD and BO||AD.
Different properties of parallelograms are given below:

  • A diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two congruent triangles.
  • In a parallelogram opposite angles are equal.
  • In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal.
  • Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Procedure

  • Take a rectangular plywood piece of suitable size and by using adhesive, paste a graph paper on it.
  • Now, fix two horizontal wooden strips (parallel to each other) on it. (see Fig. 20.2)
  • Fix two nails Vand Von one of the strips, (see Fig. 20.2)
  • On the other strip, fix nails at equal distances (B1B2 = B2B3 =… = B8B9). (see Fig. 20.2)

Demonstration

  • We get a parallelogram V1V2B8B2 by putting a string along V1V2B8 and B2. We can find the area of parallelogram by counting the total number of squares.
  • With same base V1V2 we get a parallelogram V1V2B9B3 by putting a string along V1V2B9 and B3. We can find the area of parallelogram by counting the total number of squares.
  • We can conclude that area of parallelogram obtained in point 1, i.e. V1V2B8B2= area of parallelogram obtained in point 2, i.e. V1V2B9B3.

Observation
Total number of squares in 1 st parallelogram = …………. ,
Total number of squares in 2nd parallelogram = ………… ,
Total number of squares in 1 st parallelogram=Total number of squares in 2nd parallelogram Hence, area of 1st parallelogram = …………  of 2nd parallelogram

Result
We have verified that the parallelograms lying on the same base and between the same parallel lines are equal in area.

Application
The result is useful in

  • many geometrical problems.
  • deriving the formula for the area of a parallelogram.

Note: We can get the area of a parallelogram by counting squares.
For this, find the number of complete squares, half squares and more than half squares. Less than half squares may be ignored.
