GEOMETRY:

• Sum of all the exterior angle of a polygon = 360°

• Each exterior angle of a regular polygon = 360/n (where n is a number of
sides of polygon)
• Sum of all the interior angles of a polygon = (n – 2) × 180°
(𝑛−2)
• Each interior angle of a regular polygon = ∗ 180
𝑛
• No. of diagonals of a polygon = n(n-3)/2
• The ratio of sides a polygon to the diagonals of a polygon is 2: (n – 3)
• Ratio of interior angle to exterior angle of a regular polygon is (n – 2): 2

Properties of Triangle:
• When one side is extended in any direction, an angle is formed with
another side. This is called the exterior angle. There are six exterior
angles of a triangle.
• Interior angle + corresponding exterior angle = 180°.
• An exterior angle = Sum of the other two interior opposite angles.
• Sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than the length of third
side.
• Difference of any two sides is less than the third side.
• Side opposite to the greatest angle is greatest and vice versa.
• A triangle must have at least two acute angles.
• Triangles on equal bases and between the same parallels have equal
areas.
• If a, b, c denotes the sides of a triangle then
• if c2 < a2 + b2, Triangle is acute angled.
• if c2 = a2+ b2, Triangle is right angled.
• if c2 > a2 + b2, Triangle is obtuse angled.
• If 2 triangles are equiangular, their corresponding sides are proportional.
In triangles ABC and XYZ, if ∠ A = ∠ X, ∠ B = ∠ Y, ∠ C = ∠ Z, then AB/XY =
AC/XZ = BC/YZ
• In DABC, ∠B = 90° BD ^ AC \ BD × AC = AB × BC

Properties of Circle:

• Only one circle can pass through three given points.

• There is one and only one tangent to the circle passing through any
point on the circle.
• From any exterior point of the circle, two tangents can be drawn on to
the circle.
• The lengths of two tangents segment from the exterior point to the
circle, are equal.
• The tangent at any point of a circle and the radius through the point are
perpendicular to each other.
• When two circles touch each other, their centres & the point of contact
are collinear.
• If two circles touch externally, distance between centres = sum of radii.
• If two circles touch internally, distance between centres = difference of
radii
• Circles with same centre and different radii are concentric circles.
• Points lying on the same circle are called concyclic points.
• Measure of an arc means measure of central angle. m(minor arc) +
m(major arc) = 360°.
• Angle in a semicircle is a right angle.
• Only one circle can pass through three givens
• Two congruent figures have equal areas but the converse need not be
true.
• A diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area.
• Parallelograms on the same base and between the same parallels are
equal in area.
• Triangles on the same bases and between the same parallels are equal in
area.
• If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the
same parallels, then the area of the triangle is equal to the half of the
parallelogram.

• If q = 60°, ar Triangle AOB = √4 𝑟 2
• If q = 90°, ar Triangle AOB = ½ 𝑟 2
• Diagonal of a cube = √3 × side

UNITS OF MEASUREMENT OF AREA & VOLUME:

The inter-relationships between various units of measurement of length, area

and volume are listed below for ready reference:
Length
• 1 Centimetre (cm) = 10 milimetre (mm)
• 1 Decimetre (dm) = 10 centimetre
• 1 Metre (m) = 10 dm = 100 cm = 1000 mm
• 1 Decametre (dam) = 10 m = 1000 cm
• 1 Hectometre (hm) = 10 dam = 100 m
• 1 Kilometre (km) = 1000 m = 100 dam = 10 hm
• 1 Myriametre = 10 kilometre

AREA:
1 cm2 = 1 cm × 1 cm = 10 mm × 10 mm = 100 mm2
1 dm2 = 1 dm × 1 dm = 10 cm × 10 cm = 100 cm2
1 m2 = 1 m × 1 m = 10 dm × 10 dm = 100 dm2
1 dam2 or 1 are = 1 dam × 1dam = 10 m × 10 m = 100 m2
1 hm2 = 1 hectare = 1 hm × 1 hm = 100 m × 10000m2 = 100 dm2
1 km2 = 1 km × 1 km = 10 hm × 10 hm = 100 hm2 or 100 hectare

VOLUME:
1 cm3 = 1 ml = 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm = 10 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm = 1000 mm3
1 litre = 1000 ml = 1000 cm3
1 m3 = 1 m×1 m×1m = 100 cm × 100 cm × 100 cm = 106 cm3
= 1000 litre = 1 kilometre

1 dm3 = 1000 cm3, 1m3 = 1000 dm3 , 1 km3 = 109 m3

The longest diagonal = √𝑎2 + 𝑏2 + 𝑐 2

(i) If the height of a cuboid is zero it becomes a rectangle.
(ii) If “a” be the edge of a cube, then
(iii) The longest diagonal = a√3

• Volume of pyramid = 1/3 * Base*Height
