2. Midpoint theorem (triangle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_theorem_(triangle)

   The midpoint theorem, midsegment theorem, or midline theorem states that if the midpoints of two sides of a triangle are connected, then the resulting line segment will be parallel to the third side and have half of its length. The midpoint theorem generalizes to the intercept theorem, where rather than using midpoints, both sides are ...

3. 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 ...

4. Newton–Gauss line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton–Gauss_line

   Newton-Gauss line through the midpoints L, M, N of the diagonals. In geometry, the Newton–Gauss line (or Gauss–Newton line) is the line joining the midpoints of the three diagonals of a complete quadrilateral. The midpoints of the two diagonals of a convex quadrilateral with at most two parallel sides are distinct and thus determine a line ...

5. Midpoint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint

   The midpoint of any diameter of a circle is the center of the circle. Any line perpendicular to any chord of a circle and passing through its midpoint also passes through the circle's center. The butterfly theorem states that, if M is the midpoint of a chord PQ of a circle, through which two other chords AB and CD are drawn; AD and BC intersect ...

6. Congruence (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_(geometry)

   Congruence (geometry) Relationship between two figures of the same shape and size, or mirroring each other. The two triangles on the left are congruent. The third is similar to them. The last triangle is neither congruent nor similar to any of the others. Congruence permits alteration of some properties, such as location and orientation, but ...

7. Triangle inequality - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_inequality

   The triangle inequality is a defining property of norms and measures of distance. This property must be established as a theorem for any function proposed for such purposes for each particular space: for example, spaces such as the real numbers, Euclidean spaces, the L p spaces (p ≥ 1), and inner product spaces.
