Area of a Triangle In this lesson we will learn, how to calculate the area of a triangles with different formula’s. When given 1. The base and height of a triangle.2. Two sides and one angle.3. The length of three sides.4. An equilateral triangle. First we see about a triangle. A triangle is a simple […]
Read More →Similar Figures – Definition and Examples Definition: If two figures have the same shape, then they are called ” Similar Figures”. The ratio of length of their corresponding sides are equal, and their corresponding angles are equal. In below triangles ABC and PQR corresponding angles are equal so, […]

The vertices are said concyclic. The center of the circle is called circumcenter and radius of the circle is called circumradius. Definition: A Cyclic Quadrilateral is a quadrilateral, whose all four vertices […]
Read More →The Pythagoras Theorem A long time over 2000 years ago, a Greek mathematician named Pythagoras discovered an amazing and interesting property about Right triangles, The square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. This property now called Pythagoras […]
Read More →What is an Acute Triangle: Definition, Formula and Properties In geometry, a triangle is a polygon with three sides, three vertices and three interior angles. In other words a triangle is a closed two dimensional plane figure with three sides and three angles. Triangles are classified on the basis of their sides and angles. There […]
Read More →Adjacent sides Two sides of any polygon that have a common vertex are called adjacent sides. In the triangle ABC sides AB and AC are adjacent sides as they meet a common vertex that is A. In the angle ABC sides AB and BC are adjacent sides as they meet a common vertex that is […]

In figure ABCD is a rectangle. Properties of a Rectangle A rectangle is a quadrilateral. 1. Each interior angle is a right angle. 2. […]
Read More →Vertex – Definition and Examples Vertex – Latin word Vertex meaning, “highest point”. What is Vertex? Vertex is a point where two or more rays or line segments are meet. When two rays or line segments meet, simply it is a corner, they form an angle. Definition: A vertex is a point on a polygon, where […]
