Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem is a fundamental relation in Euclidean


geometry among the three sides of a right triangle.

Rule:
In a right-angled triangle:
a² + b² = c²
where c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle), and
a and b are the other two sides.

Applications:
- Determining the length of a side in a right triangle.
- Verifying if a triangle is a right triangle.
- Used in construction, navigation, and physics.

Example:
If a = 3 and b = 4, then c² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25, so c = 5.
Area
Area refers to the amount of space inside the boundary of a flat
(2D) object.

Basic Rules:
- Rectangle: Area = length × width
- Square: Area = side²
- Triangle: Area = ½ × base × height
- Circle: Area = π × radius²
- Parallelogram: Area = base × height
- Trapezium: Area = ½ × (base1 + base2) × height

Units: square units (e.g., cm², m²)


Volume
Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a 3D object.

Basic Rules:
- Cube: Volume = side³
- Rectangular prism: Volume = length × width × height
- Cylinder: Volume = π × radius² × height
- Cone: Volume = ⅓ × π × radius² × height
- Sphere: Volume = ⁴⁄₃ × π × radius³

Units: cubic units (e.g., cm³, m³)


Polygon Angles
Polygons are flat shapes with straight sides.

Basic Rules:
- The sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (n - 2) × 180°,
where n is the number of sides.
- Each interior angle of a regular polygon = [(n - 2) × 180°] ÷ n
- The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always 360°.

Example:
For a pentagon (5 sides), sum of interior angles = (5 - 2) × 180 =
540°
Each interior angle (regular pentagon) = 540° ÷ 5 = 108°
