Basic Proportionality Theorem - A line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides into parts of equal proportion. In triangle ABC, a line drawn parallel to BC cuts AB and AC at P and Q respectively. Let the point P divide AB in the ratio of l: m where l and m are natur..

Point : It is an exact location. It is a fine dot which has neither length nor breadth nor thickness but has position i.e., it has no magnitud..

The term “parallel” is also applied to Line segments and Rays when the lines they determine are parallel..

A statement whose validity is accepted without proof is called a postulate. In addition to point, line plane etc, it is also necessary to start with certain other basic statements that are accepted without proof. In geometry these are called postulates. A postulate, though itse..

Question 1 - Question: Give a definition for a) parallel lines b) perpendicular lines Are these other terms that need to be defined first? Answer: a) Given any straight line and a point not on it, there exists one and only one line which passes through that point and never inter..

Introduction - Homogeneous Equation : A rational, integral, algebraic equation of the variables x and y is said to be homogeneous equation of n t h degree in x and y, when the sum of the indices of x and y in every term is the same and is equal to ..
