Some Important or Well Known Results

  • The bridge of asses theorem states that if A=B then C=D.

  • The sum of angles A, B, and C is equal to 180 degrees.

  • Pythagoras' theorem: The sum of the areas of the two squares on the legs (a and b) of a right triangle equals the area of the square on the hypotenuse (c).

  • Thales' theorem: if AC is a diameter, then the angle at B is a right angle.
