Geometry: if a perpendicular is drawn from the center of a circle to a chord

A

it will bisect the chord

135
Q

Geometry: if an equilateral traingle is inscribed in a triangle and i drop a perpendicular from the center of a triangle to one of the side of the equi triangle and close the triangle by joining it at the vertex, ratio of angels?

A

30 60 90.
90 at the point perpendicular is drawn bsectiong the side
60 at the center

136
Q

Geometry: when a circle is inscribed inside a equialteral triangle. and circle will touch each equilateral triangle at midpoint and side will act a tangent. if i draw a perpendicular from circle center to one of the sides and complete the triangle. angle ratio is.

A

30 60 90.
90 at the point perpendicular is drawn bsectiong the side
60 at the center

137
Q

Geometry: square inside a circle. diamter?

A

diameter is the diagnol of square

138
Q

Geometry: circle inide a square then side of a square is?

A

the diameter of the circle.

139
Q

Geometry: when a square is inscribe in another square

A

if vertex of smaller square touches larger square at mid points then area of small square is half of large square.

140
Q

Geometry: rectangle inside a semi circle.

A

if rectangle side touches diameter then the rectangle is symetrical u can divide it into 2 parts. and if u join center to top vertex u get right angel triangle.

Q

Geometry: area of a circular ring formed by 2 concentric circles

A

normal is pi r square
here is Pi ( R square - r sqare)
individual squares

142

143
Q

Geometry: volume of cube and cuboid

A

side cube
base X width X height

144
Q

Geometry: diagnol of a cuboid and cube

A

cuboid is underoot L sq + W sq + H sq
cube is S root 3

145
Q

Geometry: in general volume is? and use it for volume of cylinder

A

height X base area. base kitni height tak gya
cylinder volume = pi r square H

146
Q

Geometry: lateral surface area of a cylinder and total surface area?

A

2 pi R H
2 pi r square + 2 pi R H

147
Q

Geometry: formula of volume and rate

A

Time = Distance / Rate

148
Q

Geometry: it is imporant to know dimensions of a figure to find how fast will it fill the 3d fig?

A

yes, we must know the rate at which liquid flows into the figure and exact dimension. same is with if we want to fit smaller objects into larger objects. since a 6x6 box can fit into a 100x1 box even tho volume of 100x1 box is more.

149
Q

Geometry: Diagnols are equal for which of parellogram, rectangle, square

A

only rectangle and square

150
Q

Geometry: diagnols bisect each other for which

A

all 3 of parallelogram, rectangle and square

151
Q

Geometry: dignols bisect at 90* for which?

A

Only square in all 3 of parallogram, rectangle and square.
