triangle length rules
the length of any side must be less than the sum of the others AND greater than the difference between 2 sides (less or greater, NOT equal to)
area of a triangle
(1/2) bh
Pythagorean theorem only applies to what kind of triangles
Right triangles
Length of a diagonal of a square
one side of the square times sqrt(2)
Right isosceles triangle sides
x, x, xsqrt(2)
The long side of a 30,60,90 RIGHT triangle
short side x sqrt(3)
circumference of a circle
2pi(r) or pi(d)

how to find the diameter of a circle inside a square
the diameter= length of a side of a square
points (x,5) (-6y)
x=6, y=6
(:
slope formula
change in y/change in x
y2-y1 / x2-x1
Solving for x with a linear equation
set y to 0, 0=mx+b
