Read More →Triangle – Definition and Properties The origin of term “Triangle” from latin word tri (“Three”) and angulus means (“angles”). A “Triangle” is a simple closed curve or a three sided polygon. A triangle has three angles and three sides and three vertices. It is one of the basic shape in geometry. In Euclidean geometry any non-collinear, three points, determine a unique triangle. The triangle […]
Read More →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 […]
Read More →Hypotenuse of a triangle In geometry, the longest side of a right-angled triangle, the side opposite the right angle is known as hypotenuse. 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 […]

Read More →Vertical Angles When two lines are intersect they made four angles, angles are opposite to one another at the intersection of two lines. Each opposite pair of angles are called “Vertical Angles”, and vertical angles are always “Congruent” They are also called “Vertically Opposite Angles”. In above […]
