CBSE Class 9 Maths Lab Manual – Parallelogram

Objective
To obtain a parallelogram by paper folding, whose adjacent sides are given.

Prerequisite Knowledge

  1. Parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which the pairs of opposite sides are equal and parallel.
  2. Basic properties of parallelogram.

Materials Required
Glazed papers, pen, pencil, scale.

Procedure

  1. Take a sheet of glazed paper. Draw any two intersecting rays AB and BC such that they form an acute angle which will be the two adjacent sides of a parallelogram.

  2. Fold the paper along a line that cuts the line BC, the part of line BC that lies on one side of the line of fold falls on the other part. Make a crease, such that X1Y1 ⊥BC and unfold the paper.

  3. Fold the paper such that line passes through the point A and is parallel to BC. Make a crease and unfold the paper. Draw the dotted line X2Y2.

  4. Fold the paper along the line that passes through the point C which is parallel to the line AB and cuts the line X2Y2. Make a crease and unfold it. Draw the line X3Y3 parallel to AB. Mark the intersecting point of X2Y2 and X3Y3 as D.

Observation
Since AD is parallel to BC and DC is parallel to AB, ABCD is the required parallelogram

Result
ABCD is the required parallelogram having AB and BC as its two adjacent sides.

Learning Outcome
Without using protector and scale, we can construct a parallelogram by paper folding of any measurement.

Activity Time
Students may construct parallelogram of sides 4cm and 6cm with different angles.
