Karnataka SSLC Board Maths Syllabus for Class 10 is a very helpful tool for students who are appearing for their Board examinations. The syllabus provides an outline to be followed, while studying for board examinations. Among all the major subjects, students consider Mathematics to be the toughest one as it is all about equations, logic, and theorems. To be master in this subject, students should keep on practising to byheart equations, formulas, theorems, etc. Having a thorough knowledge of 10th Maths syllabus, state board Karnataka students can get an idea about the topics included for that respective academic session.
Following is the latest SSLC syllabus for Class 10 as per Karnataka board.

Definitions, examples, counter examples of similar triangles.
(Prove) If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.
(Motivate) If a line divides two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, the line is parallel to the third side.
(Motivate) If in two triangles, the corresponding angles are equal , their corresponding sides are proportional and the triangles are similar.
(Motivate)If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, their corresponding angles are equal and the two triangles are similar.
(Motivate)If one angle of a triangle is equal to one angle of another triangle and the sides, including these angles are proportional, the two triangles are similar.
(Motivate) If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right triangle to the hypotenuse, the triangles on each side of the perpendicular are similar to the whole triangle and to each other.
(Prove) The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corresponding sides.
(Prove) In a right triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
(Prove)In a triangle, if the square on one side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, the angles opposite to the first side is a right angle.
