Maths Lab Manual Class 10 CBSE Arithmetic Progression II Experiment

Determine Arithmetic Progression II Class 10 Practical

Objective
To verify that the sum of first n natural numbers is \(\frac { n(n+1) }{ 2 } \) by graphical method.

The product of two polynomials say A and B represents a rectangle of sides A and B. Thus n(n+1) represents a rectangle of sides n and (n + 1).

Prerequisite Knowledge

  1.  Concept of natural numbers.
  2.  Area of squares and rectangles.

Materials Required
Graph papers, white chart paper, coloured pens, geometry box.

Procedure
Let us consider the sum of first n natural numbers
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + + n (say n = 10).

  1. Take a graph paper and paste it on a white chart paper.
  2.  Mark the rectangles 1, 2, 3 n, (n + 1) along the vertical line and 1,2, 3,…. n along the horLontal line.
  3.  Colour the rectangular strips of length 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm n cm each of width 1 cm.
  4.  Complete the rectangle with sides n and n+1. Name this rectangle as PQRS. Mark dot in each square as shown in fig. (i).
  5.  Count the coloured squares and total number of squares in rectangle PQRS.

NCERT Class 10 Maths Lab Manual - Arithmetic Progression II 1
Observation
We observe, number of shaded squares = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) x total no. of squares
No. of shaded squares = 1+ 2 + 3 + … + n
Total squares = Area of rectangle = n (n + 1)
Therefore 1 + 2 + 3 + … + n = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)  n(n + 1)

Mathematically
Area of rectangle PQRS = 10 x 11
Area of shaded region = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) x 10 x 11 = 55 ……………….(i)
Also, area of shaded region = (1 x 1) + (2 x 1) + (3 x 1) +… + (10 x 1)
= 1+2 + 3 + … +10 = 55 …………………….(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
1+2 + 3 + … + 10= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) x 10 x 11 = 55
Verified that 1 + 2 + 3 + … + 10 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) x 10 (10 + 1) by graphical method.

Result
It is verified graphically that 1 + 2 + 3 + … + n = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)n(n+ 1) or sum of first n natural numbers = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) n(n + 1).

Learning Outcome
Students will develop a geometrical intuition of the formula for the sum of natural numbers starting from one.

Activity Time
1. Find the sum of first 100 natural numbers.
2. Find the sum of first 1000 natural numbers.
3. Evaluate 10 + 11 + 12 + … + 25.
