Exam Hall Traps & Speedbreakers to Avoid
  • Assuming figures are drawn to scale; angles and lengths must be deduced from theorems, not visual appearance.
  • Confusing inradius (r) with circumradius (R = abc / 4\Delta).
  • Overlooking that two chords equidistant from the center are equal in length.
