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 […]

The process of showing a theorem to be (true) correct is called proof. proofs are an important part of mathematics. […]

The center of the circumscribed circle is a point where all the three perpendicular bisectors of the triangles sides are meet. The center of the circumscribed circle is known ascircumcenter of the triangle. […]
Read More →Circumscribed and Inscribed Circle 1. Circumscribed circle In geometry, the Circumscribed circle or circumcircle of a polygon is a circle that passes inside a circle in such a way that all its vertices lie on the circle, or just touch the circle. Centre of this circle is called circumcenter and its radius is called […]
