What are 2D shapes ? 2D shapes, or two-dimensional shapes, are flat shapes that have only two dimensions, length and width. They do not have depth or height. These shapes can be drawn on a flat surface, like a piece of paper, and they include various types of polygons and circles. Here’s a detailed explanation […]
Read More →Area – Definition – Formula – Example let’s dive into the concept of area in math with a comprehensive explanation, formula, examples, and units. Definition Area is the amount of space inside the boundary of a two-dimensional shape. It is measured in square units, which represent the number of squares of a given size that […]

Opposite sides, AB = CD and AC = BD 2. Opposite angles are equal. Opposite angles are ∠A = ∠D and ∠B […]
Read More →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 […]

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 […]

A rhombuses is a type of parallelogram. All rhombuses are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses. All squares are rhombuses, but not all […]

Given: A triangle △ABC, in which D and E are mid points of sides AB and AC respectively. DE is joined. To prove: Line joining the mid points D and E (DE) is parallel to the third line […]
Read More →Theorem : In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. Given: A parallelogram ABCD, opposite sides of parallelogram are side AB and side DC side AD and side BC. To prove: Opposite angles of parallelogram are equal. […]
Read More →Elements of a Parallelogram In figure a Parallelogram ABCD. There are four sides AB, BC, CD and DA and four angles ∠A, ∠B, ∠C and ∠D in a Parallelogram. AB and DC are opposite sides, and AD and BC are another pair of opposite sides. ∠A and ∠C are a pair of opposite angles, and another pair of opposite angles are ∠B and ∠D. AB […]
Read More →Parallelograms on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area. Given: Two parallelograms ABCD and EFCD, are on the same base DC and between the same parallel lines AF and DC. To prove: area (∥gm ABCD) = area (∥gm EFCD) Proof: In △ AED and △ BFC BC ∥ AD and AF is a transversal.So, ∠DAE = ∠CBF …..(1) (Corresponding angles of […]
