PYTHAGORAS THEOREM

 Pythagoras theorem :
 In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum
 of the squares of remaning two sides.


 Pythagorean Triplet :
 In a triplet of natural numbers, if the square of the largest number is equal to the
 sum of the squares of the remaining two numbers then the triplet is called
Pythagorean
 triplet.

30° - 60° - 90° and 45° - 45° - 90°.

(I)Property of 30°-60°-90° triangle.

If acute angles of a right angled triangle are 30° and 60°, then the side opposite

30°angle is half of the hypotenuse and the side opposite to 60° angle is √3 times the
hypotenuse.

(II ) Property of 45°-45°-90°

If the acute angles of a right angled triangle are 45° and 45°, then each of the

perpendicular sides is 1/2 times the hypotenuse.

Similarity and right angled triangle

Theorem : In a right angled triangle, if the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse, then

the two triangles formed are similar to the original triangle and to each

other. ADB ~ BDC ~ ABC

Theorem of geometric mean
In a right angled triangle, the perpendicular segment to the hypotenuse

from the opposite vertex, is the geometric mean of the segments into

which the hypotenuse is divided.

Apollonius theorem

In D ABC, if M is the midpoint of side BC, then
