Select the proof required then click mouse key to view proof. Menu Theorem 1 Vertically opposite angles are equal in measure. Theorem 2 The measure of the three angles of a triangle sum to 1800 . Theorem 3 An exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the two interior opposite angles in measure. Theorem 4 If two sides of a triangle are equal in measure, then the angles opposite these sides are equal in measure. Theorem 5 The opposite sides and opposite sides of a parallelogram are respectively equal in measure. Theorem 6 A diagonal bisects the area of a parallelogram Theorem 7 The measure of the angle at the centre of the circle is twice the measure of the angle at the circumference standing on the same arc. Theorem 8 A line through the centre of a circle perpendicular to a chord bisects the chord. Theorem 9 If two triangles are equiangular, the lengths of the corresponding sides are in proportion. Theorem 10 In a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the side opposite to the right angle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Constructions Sketches Quit
