Vertically Opposite Angles Theorem Vertical angles theorem or Vertically opposite angles theorem states that, If two lines intersect each other, then vertically opposite angles are equal. Given: In the above statement, given that two lines intersect each other, so let AB and CD are two lines intersect each other at O as shown in figure so […]

Pythagoras theorem applies to right triangles and states that, The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. (hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2+(Perpendicular)2 […]

Four angles are formed at the points p, by line l, name of these angles as ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, and ∠4. Four angles are formed […]
