Important Facts and Formula:

RESULTS ON TRIANGLE


1.Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.



2.The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than 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 MEDIAN.



5.The point where the three medians of a triangle meet,

is called CENTROID. The centroid divides each of 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 area of the triangle formed by joining the mid points

of the sides of a given triangle is one-fourth of the area

of the given triangle.



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 parallels are equal in area.



7.Of all he parallelogram of given sides the parallelogram

which is a rectangle has the greatest area.



FORMULAE



1.Area of a RECTANGLE = length * breadth



Length = (Area/Breadth) and Breadth = (Area/Length)



2.Perimeter of a RECTANGLE = 2(Length + Breadth)



3.Area of a SQUARE = (side)2 = ½ ( Diagonal)2



4.Area of four walls of a room = 2(length + breadth) * height



5.Area of a TRIANGLE = ½ * base * height



6.Area of a TRIANGLE = √[s * (s-a) * (s-b) * (s-c)],

where a,b,c are the sides of the triangle and s = 1/2(a+b+c)



7.Area of EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE = √(3/4)* (side)2



8.Radius of in circle of an EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE of

side a = r / 2√3



9.Radius of circumcircle of an EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE

of side a = r / √3



10.Radius of incircle of a triangle of area ∆ and

semi perimeter S = ∆ / s



11.Area of a PARALLELOGRAM = (base * height)



12.Area of RHOMBUS = 1/2 (product of diagonals)



13.Area of TRAPEZIUM =

=1/2 * (sum of parallel sides)* (distance between them)



14.Area of a CIRCLE =  r2 where r is the radius



15.Circumference of a CIRCLE = 2r



16.Length of an arc = 2 rø / 360, where ø is central angle



17.Area of a SECTOR = ½ (arc * r) = r2ø / 360



18.Area of a SEMICIRCLE = r2 / 2
