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 ...

Constructions (accurate drawings) can be made using a ruler, a pair of compasses and a pencil. A line which cuts an angle into two equal side angles is called an angle bisector. In geometry a ...

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 ...
