Pythagoras
  1. Theorem
    1. ONLY WORKS IN RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLES!
      1. Formula
        1. a^2 + b^2 = c^2
          1. a and b are the shorter sides
            1. c is the hypotenuse
          2. The square of the hypotenuse (longest side, opposite right angle) is equal to the sums of the squares of the other two sides
          3. Real Life Problems
            1. A plane flies 6 km northwards, then 8km eastwards. What would be the distance going straight to the finishing place from the beginning directly?
              1. a^2 + b^2 = c^2
                1. 36 + 64 = c²
                  1. 100 = c²
                    1. √100 = 10
                      1. 10km
