Geometry

1. The sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third.

2. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon of n sides = (n – 2) π .
3. The angle inscribed in any semicircle is π /2.
4. Two tangents can be drawn from any external point to a circle. These are equal in
length.
5. Angles in alternate segments are equal.
6. Angles in equal segments are equal.

Algebra

1. A2 – B2 = (A – B) (A + B)
2. (A + B)2 = A2 + 2 AB + B2
3. (A - B)2 = A2 – 2 AB + B2
4. (A + B + C)2 = A2 + B2 + C2 + 2 (AB + BC + CA)

5. Quadratic Equations - Any equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0, is known

− b ± b − 4ac

as a quadratic equation. Its roots are given by
2a
Sum of the roots = - b/a , Product of the roots = c/a
Nature of the roots depends on the quantity D = b2 – 4ac, which is known as the
Discriminant.
