Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic: Every composite number can be expressed as a
product of primes, and this factorization is unique, except for the order of the
factors.

Similarity of Triangles:
AA (Angle-Angle): If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another
triangle, the triangles are similar.
SSS (Side-Side-Side): If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional,
the triangles are similar.
SAS (Side-Angle-Side): If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are
proportional to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are
similar.

9. Circles
Tangent to a Circle: A line that touches the circle at exactly one point.
Properties of Tangents:
The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the
point of contact.
The lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.

12. Probability
𝑃
Probability of an Event:
𝐸
(
)
=
Number of favorable outcomes
Total number of outcomes
P(E)=
Total number of outcomes

Important Facts:
Probability ranges from 0 to 1.
The probability of an impossible event is 0, and the probability of a sure event is
1.
