2. Theorem of the gnomon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem_of_the_gnomon

   The proof of the theorem is straightforward if one considers the areas of the main parallelogram and the two inner parallelograms around its diagonal: first, the difference between the main parallelogram and the two inner parallelograms is exactly equal to the combined area of the two complements;

3. Parallelogram law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_law

   Vectors involved in the parallelogram law. In a normed space, the statement of the parallelogram law is an equation relating norms: ‖ ‖ + ‖ ‖ = ‖ + ‖ + ‖ ‖,.. The parallelogram law is equivalent to the seemingly weaker statement: ‖ ‖ + ‖ ‖ ‖ + ‖ + ‖ ‖, because the reverse inequality can be obtained from it by substituting (+) for , and () for , and then simplifying.

4. Pappus's area theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pappus's_area_theorem

   The extended parallelogram sides DE and FG intersect at H. The line segment AH now "becomes" the side of the third parallelogram BCML attached to the triangle side BC, i.e., one constructs line segments BL and CM over BC, such that BL and CM are a parallel and equal in length to AH.

5. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

   green area = blue area Construction for proof of parallelogram generalization. Pappus's area theorem is a further generalization, that applies to triangles that are not right triangles, using parallelograms on the three sides in place of squares (squares are a special case, of course). The upper figure shows that for a scalene triangle, the ...

6. Gnomon (figure) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomon_(figure)

   This gnomonic technique also provides a proof that the sum of the first n odd numbers is n 2; the figure illustrates 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 = 64 = 8 2. First five terms of Nichomachus's theorem. Applying the same technique to a multiplication table gives the Nicomachus theorem, proving that each squared triangular number is a sum of ...

7. 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 ...
