Rules of Geometry
- two lines are said to be parallel only when their point of intersection is/are :
none
- in a triange, interior opposite angle is always less than : the exterior angle
- in a traingle, the sum of the 2 angles is equal to the thrid angle, considering
interior angles only, then the triangle is : right angled
- 2 sides of a triangle are unequal. the angle just opposite to the larger side
is : greater than the angle opposite the smaller side
- the angle made by the altitute of a triangle with the side on which it is
drwan is equal to : 90 degrees
- one angle of a triangle is greater than the other. the side opposite to it is :
greater than the side opposite to the other
- a regualr hexagon has been inscribed in a circle. the area of the hexagon
will be: less than the area of the circle.
- when the bisector of any angle is perpendicular to the opposite side, then
the triangle is : equilateral
- the traingle formed by joining the mid points of the sides of an equilateral
traingle is : equilateral
- the bisectors of the angle at the vertex of an isosceles traingle: bisects the
base and is perpendicular to it
- if the bisector of any angle of a triangle bisects its opposite side, the
triangle is : isosceles
- the straight line joining the midpoints of any 2 sides of a triangle is : parallel
to the third side
- if the bisector of the vertical angle bisects the base, the triangle is :
isosceles
- in a triangle abc, if the median BE is equal to the median CF, then the
triangle is : isosceles
- in a triangle ABC, if altitude BE is euqal to the altitude CF, then the triangle
is : isosceles
- the angle between the internal bisector of one base angle and the exterior
bisector of the other base angle is equal to : one half the vertical angle
- the stright line drawn from the midpoint of a side of a triangle, parallel to
the base is one that : bisects the other side
- in an an isosceles triangle ABC, d,e,f are the midpoints of the base BC and
the equal sides AB, AC resp, then : DF=DE
- medians of a triangle pass thru the same point which divides each median
in the ratio : 2:1
- area of s rectangle and area of || gm standing on the same base and b/w the same || have relation
b/w them as : they are equal
- if the midpoints of the sides of a quadilateral are jonied, then the figure formed is : ||gm
- if the diagonals of a || are equal then its a : rectangle
- in a triangle ABC, the median AD bisecting the side BC has its midpoint O.
the line CO meets AB at E. AE is equal to : AB/3
- if the perpendicular drawn from the vertex of a right angled triangle to the
hypotenuse, the number of similiar triangles formed is euqal to : 3
- p and q are 2 pts on the sides ca and cb of a triangle abc, right angled at c.
then aq^2 + bp^2 is equal to : ab^2 + pq^2
circle and ne point r on a given line pr. the line doesnt intersect the circle
when : pr>r
- chord pq of a circle is produced to o. t is a pt such that ot becomes a tangent to the circle. then :
ot^2=op*oq
- p is the midpoint of an arc apb of a circle. the tangent at p is : parallel to the chord ab.
- an angle with vertex on the circle formed by secant ray and a tangent ray has measure equal to :
half the measure of the angle subtented by the intercepted arc at the centre
