Triangles Formulas — Class 10 CBSE

Prove and apply BPT, similarity criteria, and Pythagoras theorem with proofs.

Key Formulas

Basic Proportionality Theorem (BPT)

\dfrac{AD}{DB} = \dfrac{AE}{EC}

If DE is parallel to BC in triangle ABC

AAA Similarity

\text{All three angles equal}

SAS Similarity

\text{Two sides proportional and included angle equal}

SSS Similarity

\text{All three sides proportional}

Area Ratio

\dfrac{\text{Area}(\triangle_1)}{\text{Area}(\triangle_2)} = \dfrac{a_1^2}{a_2^2}

Pythagoras Theorem

\text{Hypotenuse}^2 = \text{Base}^2 + \text{Perpendicular}^2

Worked Examples

1Using: Supplementary Angles

If one angle is 65 degrees, find its supplement.

Step 1: Supplement = 180 - 65

Step 2: = 115 degrees.

Answer: 115 degrees

2Using: Vertically Opposite

Two lines intersect. If one angle is 40 degrees, find the vertically opposite angle.

Step 1: Vertically opposite angles are equal.

Step 2: The angle = 40 degrees.

Answer: 40 degrees
