The document discusses the Pythagorean theorem and distance formula. The Pythagorean theorem states that for a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two legs equals the square of the hypotenuse (A2 + B2 = C2). It is used to calculate the length of the hypotenuse given the lengths of the two legs. The distance formula calculates the distance between two points by taking the square root of the sum of the squared differences between the x- and y-coordinates.

2. Pythagorean theorem What is pythagorean theorem? It uses A 2 +B 2 =C 2 What do variables stand for? A and B stand for the legs and C always stands for the hypotenuse. What type of triangle do we use theorem for? We always use a right triangle.

4. What is distance formula? To find the distance between two points. What steps do you follow to use the distance formula? First you label the points, then you put them in the distance formula, funally do the math.
