In the diagram below, AB is the chord of a circle with centre O. OM is perpendicular to AB (meet at a right angle). Look at triangles OAM and OBM. The hypotenuses (OA and OB) are the same, as they are ...
The Mathematical Gazette is the original journal of the Mathematical Association and it is now over a century old. Its readership is a mixture of school teachers, college and university lecturers, ...
The secret to getting ahead is getting started. In the triangle above, segment BD is an angle bisector. Sides AB = 9x − 14, BC = 4x − 3, CD = 2x + 11 and AD = 5x + 2. Find the area of triangle ABD and ...
This section deals with 2D shapes and angles related to them. It might be worth looking at the National 4 Angles section before continuing. For any triangle, the three angles add up to \(180^\circ\).
