Class 10 Maths Formulas PDF
Chapter 1: Real Numbers
• Euclid’s Division Lemma: a = bq + r, where 0 ≤ r < b
• HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers
Chapter 2: Polynomials
• If ax^2 + bx + c = 0 then:
• Sum of roots = -b/a
• Product of roots = c/a
• Division Algorithm: p(x) = q(x) * g(x) + r(x)
Chapter 3: Pair of Linear Equations
• General form: ax + by + c = 0
• Methods to solve:
• Substitution
• Elimination
• Cross-multiplication
Chapter 4: Quadratic Equations
• Standard form: ax^2 + bx + c = 0
• Roots formula: x = [-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a
• Discriminant (D) = b^2 - 4ac
Chapter 5: Arithmetic Progression (AP)
• n-th term: a_n = a + (n - 1)d
• Sum of n terms: S_n = (n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d]
Chapter 6: Triangles
• Basic Proportionality Theorem (Thales): If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle intersecting
the other two sides, it divides them in the same ratio.
• Pythagoras Theorem: In right triangle, (hypotenuse)^2 = (base)^2 + (height)^2
• Area similarity: Ratio of areas = (Ratio of sides)^2
Chapter 7: Coordinate Geometry
• Distance formula: d = sqrt[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
• Midpoint formula: M = [(x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2]
• Section formula: [(mx2 + nx1)/(m+n), (my2 + ny1)/(m+n)]
