The document discusses the Pythagorean theorem and distance formula. It explains that the Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. It also provides an example of using the distance formula, which involves subtracting the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of two points and summing the squares of the differences.

2. What is a Pythagorean Theorem?
What do the variables stands for?
What type of triangle do we use
the theorem for?
A Pythagorean theorem is a square of the hypotenuse of
right triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the other
two sides.
The variable stands for a and b stand for the legs and c
stands for hypotenuse.
The type of triangle we use is a right triangle.
