# Summary

1. Two triangles are said to be similar if (a) their corresponding sides are proportional, and (b) their corresponding angles are equal.
Â

2.Â In a triangle, if a line drawn parallel to one of the sides intersects the other two sides in distinct points, then the line divides the two sides in the same ratio.

(Thalesâ€™ Theorem).

Â

3. If a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line will be parallel to theÂ third side.

Â

4. The bisector of an angle of a triangle, divides the opposites side in the ratio of the sides containing the angle.

Â

5. If two triangles are equiangular, then the triangles are similar.

Â

6. If two angles of one triangle are respectively equal to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Â

7. If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then they are similar.

Â

8. If in two triangles, one pair of corresponding sides is proportional and the included angles are equal, then the two triangles are similar.

Â

9.Â In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse in equal to the sum of the squares of the two remaining sides.

[Pythagorasâ€™ Theorem]

Â

10. If in a triangle the square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides then it will be a right-angled triangle. [Converse of Pythagorasâ€™ Theorem]

11. CPCTE represents the condition â€˜Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equalâ€™.
