Lines of symmetry in an isosceles trapezium An isosceles trapezium has one line of symmetry that goes through the midpoints of the parallel lines in the trapezium. Below figure shows lines of symmetry in an isosceles trapezium.

They typically result from a transversal cutting two lines, whether they are parallel or not. In other words corresponding angles formed when a transversal line cuts across two […]
Read More →Alternate Angles: Definition and Types In this tutorial we will learn definition and types of alternate angles. In geometry, alternate angles are a special kind of angles. Alternate interior angles are formed when a transversal intersect two parallel or non-parallel lines. If a straight line intersects two lines, in the same plane at two distinct […]

The term alternate interior angles is often used when two lines are intersected by a third line(transversal). Alternate interior angles are formed when two lines are intersected by a third line. The third line is known as the transversal line. Alternate […]

The term alternate exterior angles is often used when two lines are intersected by a third line(transversal). Alternate exterior angles are formed when two lines are intersected by a third line. The third line is known as the transversal line. Alternate […]

French Mathematician Rene Descartes trying to solve the problem of describing the position of a point on a plane with the Cartesian coordinate system and the cartesian plane. In Cartesian coordinate system, we derive a vertical and a horizontal line. When we […]

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 […]

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 […]
