🏛️ Famous Geometric Theorems
Pythagorean Theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of squares of the other two sides.
Example: 3-4-5 triangle
3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5² ✓
Triangle Sum Theorem
a + b + c = 180^\circ
The sum of interior angles in any triangle is 180 degrees.
Example: If two angles are 45° and 60°, the third angle is 75°.
Isosceles Triangle Theorem
Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.
Example: In △ABC where AB = AC, ∠B = ∠C
Parallel Lines Theorem
When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are equal.
Example: If l ∥ m, then corresponding angles are equal.
