I. Results on Triangles:
1. Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. 2. The sum of any two sides of a
triangle is greater than the third side. 3. Pythagoras' Theorem: In a right-
angled triangle,
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Height)2 4. The line joining the mid-
point of a side of a triangle to the opposite vertex is called the
most 5. The point where the three medians of a triangle meet, is
called centroid. The centroid divides
the medians in the ratio 2:1. 6. In an isosceles triangle, the altitude from the vertex bisects the
base. 7. The median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of the same area. 8. The line
joining the mid-points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to

half of it. 9. The four triangles formed by joining the mid-points of the sides
of a given triangle are equal in area,
each equal to one-fourth of the given triangle. 10. The ratio of the areas of
two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their (i)
corresponding sides
11) corresponding altitudes II. Results on Quadrilaterals:
1. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. 2. Each diagonal of a parallelogram
divides it into two triangles of the same area. 3. The diagonals of a rectangle are equal and
bisect each other. 4. The diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other at right angles.
5. The diagonals of a rhombus are unequal and bisect each other at right angles. 6. A
parallelogram and a rectangle on the same base and between the same parallel 7. Of all the
parallelograms of given sides, the parallelogram which is a rectangle na 8. The line joining the
mid-points of the non-parallel sides of a trapezium is para
sides and equal to half of their sum. 9. The line joining the mid-points of the diagonals of
a trapezium is parallel to
and equal to half of their difference.
