Sure, here are some important geometry theorems:

1. Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum
of the squares of the other two sides.
2. Triangle Sum Theorem: The sum of the interior angles in any triangle is 180 degrees.
3. Congruence Theorems: If two triangles have the same size and shape, then their corresponding angles
and sides are equal. There are several congruence theorems, including Side-Side-Side (SSS), Side-Angle-
Side (SAS), and Angle-Side-Angle (ASA).
4. Similarity Theorems: If two triangles have the same shape, then their corresponding angles are equal, and
their corresponding sides are in proportion.
5. Parallel Lines Theorems: If two lines are parallel, then the corresponding angles formed by a transversal
are equal, and the alternate angles are equal.
6. Circle Theorems: There are many theorems that apply to circles, including the fact that the angle
subtended by an arc at the center of a circle is twice the angle subtended by the same arc at the
circumference of the circle.
7. Quadrilateral Theorems: There are many theorems that apply to quadrilaterals, including the fact that the
opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal, and the sum of the interior angles in any quadrilateral is 360
degrees.
8. Similarity of Right Triangles: If two right triangles have one angle in common, then they are similar.
9. Perpendicular Bisector Theorem: A point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment is equidistant from
the endpoints of the segment.
10. Angle Bisector Theorem: An angle bisector in a triangle divides the opposite side into segments that are
proportional to the other two sides.
11. Law of Sines: In any triangle, the ratio of the length of a side to the sine of its opposite angle is the same
for all three sides.
12. Law of Cosines: In any triangle, the square of the length of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of
the other two sides minus twice the product of those sides and the cosine of the angle between them.

These are just a few of the many geometry theorems that exist, and they can be used to solve a wide
variety of geometric problems.
