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. 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 ...

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. 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.

7. Brahmagupta's formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmagupta's_formula

   Brahmagupta's formula. In Euclidean geometry, Brahmagupta's formula, named after the 7th century Indian mathematician, is used to find the area of any cyclic quadrilateral (one that can be inscribed in a circle) given the lengths of the sides. Its generalized version, Bretschneider's formula, can be used with non-cyclic quadrilateral.

8. 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.

9. Abel–Ruffini theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel–Ruffini_theorem

   Abel–Ruffini theorem refers also to the slightly stronger result that there are equations of degree five and higher that cannot be solved by radicals. This does not follow from Abel's statement of the theorem, but is a corollary of his proof, as his proof is based on the fact that some polynomials in the coefficients of the equation are not ...
