5 When a pair of straight lines intersected by a

transversal, if the
(i) The alternate angles are equal
or

producing one of the side is equal to the sum of
the interior opposite angles.

360˚

12
When two sides and the interior angle of a
triangle are equal to two sides and the interior
angle of another triangle then the two triangles
are congruent.
(SAS)
13
When two angles and a side of a triangle are equal
to two angles and the corresponding side of
another triangle then the two triangles are
congruent.
(AAS)
14
When all three sides of a triangle are equal to all
three sides of another triangle then the two
triangles are congruent.
(SSS)

15
In a right angle triangle, when the hypotenuse and
another side are equal to the hypotenuse and
another side of another triangle then the two
triangles are congruent.
(RHS)
16
In an isosceles triangle the angles opposite to
equal sides are equal in magnitude.

17
In a triangle if two angles are equal in magnitude
then the sides opposite to equal angles are equal.

18
In a triangle, the angle opposite to the longest
side is the largest and the angle opposite to the
shortest side is the smallest.
19
In a triangle, the side opposite to the largest angle
is the longest and the side opposite to the
smallest angle is the shortest.

20

sides is greater than the length of the third side.

21

in magnitude then, it is a parallelogram.

23
In a quadrilateral, if the diagonal bisect each other
then, it is a parallelogram.

24
In a quadrilateral, if one pair of opposite sides
equal and parallel then, it is a parallelogram.

25
In a quadrilateral, if the opposite sides are parallel
then, it is a parallelogram.

26 MID POINT THEOREM

The line joining the mid points of any two sides of
a triangle is
(i) Parallel to the third side and
(ii) Equal to half the length of the third side
27 CONVERSE OF THE MID POINT THEOREM
The line passing through the midpoint of one of
the side of the triangle and parallel to another
side bisects the third side.

28
The parallelograms with a common base and
between a pair of parallel lines are equal in area.

29
The triangles with a common base and between a
pair of parallel lines are equal in area.

30
If a triangle and a parallelogram are with a
common base and between a pair of parallel lines,
the area of the triangle is half the area of the
parallelogram.
31
If the bases of two triangles are in the same
straight line and they have the common vertex
then the area of them are proportionate to their
bases.
32 Pythagoras Theorem
In a right angle triangle, the area of the square
formed on the hypotenuse is equal to the areas of
the squares formed on the other two sides.

33
Ration Theorem
The line drawn parallel to one of the side of the
triangle divides other two sides proportionally.

34
Converse of the Ratio Theorem
When a line divides any two sides of a triangle
proportionally then it is parallel to the third side.
35
When all three angles of a triangle are equal to all
three angles of another triangle then the two
triangles are equiangular (similar ) triangles.

36
The corresponding sides of two similar triangles
are proportionate.

37
If the sides of two triangles are proportionate
then the corresponding angles are equal and the
two triangles are equiangular.

38 In an isosceles triangle,
(i) The bisector of the angle formed by
the equal sides,
(ii) The perpendicular drawn from the
above vertex,
(iii) The perpendicular bisector of the side
opposite to the above vertex,
(iv) The line joining the midpoint with the
above vertex are the same

39
The line joining the midpoint of a chord with the
centre of the circle is perpendicular to the chord.

40
The perpendicular line drawn from the centre to
the chord bisects the chord.
41
The lengths of the perpendiculars drawn to the
chords of a circle with equal lengths are equal.

42
When the perpendiculars drawn from the centre
to the chords are equal in length, then the chords
also will be equal in length.

43
The angle formed by an arc at the centre of a circle
is twice the angle formed by the same arc at the
remaining part of the circumference of the circle.

44
The angles formed at the same segment are equal
in magnitude.

45
The angle formed by a semicircle at the
circumference is a right angle.

46
The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are
supplementary.

47
If the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are
supplementary then it is a cyclic quadrilateral.

to the interior opposite angle.
