Class 10 Maths Chapter 6 Triangles: Important Topics

Some important concepts of chapter 6 Triangles are given below:

Similarity of Triangles – Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in the same ratio. Triangles with equal corresponding angles are called equiangular triangles.

Basic Proportionality Theorem states that the ratio of any two corresponding sides in two equiangular triangles is always the same.

Congruence of Triangles – Two triangles are said to be congruent if all their corresponding sides and angles are equal in measure.

Congruent triangles always satisfy any of the given conditions:

SSS (Side-Side-Side) Rule, SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Rule, ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Rule, AAS (Angle-Angle-Side Rule), RHS (Right angle-Hypotenuse-Side) Rule.

Pythagoras Theorem – It states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of other two sides.

Pythagoras theorem can be represented as (H)² = (P)² + (B)², where H is Hypotenuse, P is perpendicular and B is Base.
