2. Varignon's theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varignon's_theorem

   An arbitrary quadrilateral and its diagonals. Bases of similar triangles are parallel to the blue diagonal. Ditto for the red diagonal. The base pairs form a parallelogram with half the area of the quadrilateral, A q, as the sum of the areas of the four large triangles, A l is 2 A q (each of the two pairs reconstructs the quadrilateral) while that of the small triangles, A s is a quarter of A ...

3. Pappus's area theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pappus's_area_theorem

   dark grey area = light grey area. Pappus's area theorem describes the relationship between the areas of three parallelograms attached to three sides of an arbitrary triangle. The theorem, which can also be thought of as a generalization of the Pythagorean theorem, is named after the Greek mathematician Pappus of Alexandria (4th century AD), who ...

4. Lagrange's identity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange's_identity

   [5] [6] Since the right-hand side of the identity is clearly non-negative, it implies Cauchy's inequality in the finite-dimensional real coordinate space R n and its complex counterpart C n. Geometrically, the identity asserts that the square of the volume of the parallelepiped spanned by a set of vectors is the Gram determinant of the vectors.

5. Area of a triangle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_triangle

   The area of a triangle can be demonstrated, for example by means of the congruence of triangles, as half of the area of a parallelogramthat has the same base length and height. A graphic derivation of the formula T=h2b{\displaystyle T={\frac {h}{2}}b}that avoids the usual procedure of doubling the area of the triangle and then halving it.

6. Pick's theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick's_theorem

   In geometry, Pick's theorem provides a formula for the area of a simple polygon with integer vertex coordinates, in terms of the number of integer points within it and on its boundary. The result was first described by Georg Alexander Pick in 1899. [2] It was popularized in English by Hugo Steinhaus in the 1950 edition of his book Mathematical ...

7. Parallelogram law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_law

   In mathematics, the simplest form of the parallelogram law (also called the parallelogram identity) belongs to elementary geometry. It states that the sum of the squares of the lengths of the four sides of a parallelogram equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two diagonals. We use these notations for the sides: AB, BC, CD, DA.

8. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

   In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem or Pythagoras' theorem is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry between the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.

9. Hodge conjecture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodge_conjecture

   The Hodge conjecture generalises this statement to higher dimensions. In mathematics, the Hodge conjecture is a major unsolved problem in algebraic geometry and complex geometry that relates the algebraic topology of a non-singular complex algebraic variety to its subvarieties.
