SINE RULE
Sin A/a = Sin B/b = Sin C/c

2. EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE
 r = H/3 = a/2 3

 R = 2H/3 = a/ 3

 R = 2r

 Area ( circumcircle) = 4 * Area (incircle)

 From a point inside eq. triangle, perpendiculars p1, p2, p3 dropped

on three sides, then

altitude or height of triangle = p1 + p2 + p3

or

p1+ p2+ p3 = 3/2 a

3. RIGHT ANGLED TRAINGLE

 R (circumradius) = median to hypotenuse = hypotenuse/ 2

 r ( inradius) = a+c-b/ 2

 h (height or altitude ) = ac/b

or

h=mxn
 For right Triangle of 3,4,5

R= 2.5 and r = 1

Similarly

For any 3x, 4x, 5x right triangle,

R= 2.5x and r= x

 TRIPLETS:

5, 12, 13 7, 24, 25 9, 40, 41

11, 60, 61 13, 84, 85 8, 15, 17

12, 35, 37 16, 63, 65 20, 21, 29

38, 56, 65

4. ISOSCELES TRAINGLE

 area = b/4 4a – b

 Bisector of angle A is perpendicular to

the base and also median to base.

 Isosceles right triangle

Area= legs / 2

Or

Area= hypotenuse / 4
5. IMPORTANT POINTS

Medians : CENTROID ( 2 : 1)

Perpendicular Bisectors : CIRCUMCENTRE R= abc/ 4 x area

( any point on perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the ends

of the line)

Angle Bisectors : INCENTRE r = area/ semi p

( incentre divides the bisector of angle A in ratio b+c/ a )

Perpendiculars or altitudes : ORTHOCENTRE

6. SIMILAR TRAINGLES

 Ratio of sides = ratio of heights = ratio of medians

= ratio of angle bisectors = ratio of in radius =

ratio of circumradius

 Ratio of areas = ratio of squares of corresponding

sides
