Right Angle – Definition, Example and Properties What is a right angle? When two straight lines are perpendicular to each other or intersect at 90º, they form a right angle. A right angle is represented by the symbol L. In our daily life we can see many real-life examples of the right angles. We can […]

What is an Angle Angles are formed by two rays or lines called the arms or sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. Types of angles There are various types of angles. The angles can be classified into two main types. Basis on their measure or magnitude. Based […]

Given: Two triangles △ ABC and △ ABD are on same base (or equal bases) AB, and area of △ ABC and △ ABD are equal. Proof: CD ∥ AB Construction: Draw CE and DF perpendicular to AB.So DF is the height of △ ADB, and CE is the height of △ABC. CE perpendicular to AB and DF perpendicular to AB.Since, lines perpendicular to same line […]

Two triangles on the same base (or equal bases) and between the same parallels are equal in area. Given: △ ABC and △ PBC are two triangles on same base (or equal bases) BC and between the same parallels, BC and AP. To prove: ar △ ABC = ar △ PBC Construction: Through B, draw BD ∥ CA intersecting PA produced at D, and […]
