Pythagorean Theorem (Pythagoras' theorem)
In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to thesum of the squares of the other two sides
c2 = a2 + b2 where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b are thelengths of the other two sides

Plese note that in the radian system for angular measurement,
2 radians = 360
1 radian = 180
1 = radians

4. Important properties of Geometric Shapes
I. Properties of Triangle
i. Sum of the angles of a triangle = 180
ii. Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
iii. The line joining the midpoint of a side of a triangle to thepositive vertex is called the median
iv. The median of a triangle divides the triangle into two triangleswith equal areas
v. Centroid is the point where the three medians of a trianglemeet.
vi. Centroid divides each median into segments with a 2:1 ratio
vii. Area of a triangle formed by joining the midpoints of the sides ofa given triangle is one-fourth of the area of the given triangle.
Lateral Surface Area =r = rs +r2 h2
where s is the slant height = +r2 h2
Total Surface Area = r + = rs ++r2 h2 r2 r2

ix. In an equilateral triangle, all three internal angles are congruentto each other
x. In an equilateral triangle, all three internal angles are each 60
xi. An isosceles triangle is a triangle with (at least) two equal sides
xii. In isosceles triangle, altitude from vertex bisects the base.
II. Properties of QuadrilateralsA. Rectangle
i. The diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other
ii. opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel
iii. opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent
iv. opposite angles of a rectangle are congruent
v. All four angles of a rectangle are right angles
vi. The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent
B. Square
i. All four sides of a square are congruent
ii. Opposite sides of a square are parallel

i. The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length.
ii. The opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent (equalmeasure).
iii. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
iv. Each diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles ofthe same area
D. Rhombus
i. All the sides of a rhombus are congruent
ii. Opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel.
iii. The diagonals of a rhombus are unequal and bisect each otherat right angles
iv. Opposite internal angles of a rhombus are congruent (equal insize)
v. Any two consecutive internal angles of a rhombus aresupplementary; i.e. the sum of their angles = 180 (equal insize)
Other properties of quadrilaterals
i. The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees
ii. A square and a rhombus on the same base will have equalareas.
iii. A parallelogram and a rectangle on the same base and betweenthe same parallels are equal in area.
iv. Of all the parallelogram of given sides, the parallelogram which isa rectangle has the greatest area.
v. Each diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles ofthe same area

III. Sum of Interior Angles of a polygon
i. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon = 180(n - 2)degrees where n = number of sides Example 1 : Number of sidesof a triangle = 3. Hence, sum of the interior angles of a triangle= 180(3 - 2) = 180 1 = 180 Example 2 : Number of sides ofa quadrilateral = 4. Hence, sum of the interior angles of anyquadrilateral = 180(4 - 2) = 180 2 = 360
