Parallelograms – Properties   A parallelogram is a special type of a polygon. it is a quadrilateral with both pair of opposite sides are parallel. Properties 1. Opposite sides are equal.       Opposite sides, AB = CD and AC = BD 2. Opposite angles are equal.      Opposite angles are ∠A = ∠D and ∠B […]

Theorem The perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord bisects the chord. Given: A circle with center O, AB is chord of a circle and OC perpendicular from the center to the chord  AB. i.e.    OC ⊥ AB  therefore  ∠OCA and ∠OCB Both angles are 900.   To prove: AC = CB (C is the mid point of chord AB)    […]
