Basic Proportionality Theorem (BPT) also known as Thales Theorem
Similarity concepts: SSS, SAS, AAA, AA.
Keep in mind the naming of the triangles while doing questions.
Ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of ratio of a
pair their corresponding sides.
Pythagoras Theorem or Baudhayan Theorem.

Important Identities
(x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2
(x – y)2 = x2 – 2xy + y2
x2 – y2 = (x + y) (x – y)
(x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab.
(x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx.
(x + y)3 = x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y)
(x – y)3 = x3 – y3 – 3xy(x – y)
x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = (x + y + z) (x2 + y2 + z2 – xy – yz – zx)
