Introduction
Theorems of geometry are the statements which prove geometry concepts or rules with their proofs. These theorems exhibit the concepts of lines, angles, triangles or circles in geometry.
The most famous theorems of triangles in geometry are Basic proportionality or Thales theorem, midpoint theorem, Pythagoras theorem, Angle Sum Theorem and Exterior Angle Theorem.
The theorem of the circle includes the rules of angle subtended at the center of the circle, in the same segment and inscribed in the semi circle. The other widely used theorems of circle are Alternate Segment Theorem and the Cyclic Quadrilateral theorem.
