Order of mathematical Operations The four basic operation in mathematics, as everyone knows, are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. These basic operations are used in algebra with numbers or letters or combination of both. A number multiplied by a variable, a number or variable is called a term. An expression is combination of such terms. Example: In […]

Converse of Pythagorean Theorem  In this section we are going to see the converse of Pythagorean theorem. We know the Pythagorean theorem applies to right triangles and states that,  The square of the length of the hypotenuse, equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.  (hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2+(Perpendicular)2     […]

  Diagonals of Polygon’s In geometry, a line segment joining two vertices of a polygon or polyhedron, when those vertices are not adjacent is known as Diagonal.  Diagonals of Polygon’s A polygon’s diagonal’s are line segments, that joining from one corner to another corner. Formula for number of diagonals = n(n-3)/2 where n is number of sides or […]

Square Root of a Number The inverse (opposite) operation of addition is subtraction and the inverse operation of multiplication is division. Similarly, The “square root” is the inverse operation of squaring that number. Square root of a number is number itself.            Square of 1 = 1 x 1 = 1 = 12     […]
