    The document discusses the Pythagorean theorem, which states that for any right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. It provides examples of using the theorem to solve for missing side lengths in right triangles. Specifically, it shows how to use the theorem to calculate the distance between two points by driving distances along perpendicular routes.

    This is a right triangle:
    We call it a right triangle
    because it contains a
    right angle.
    The measure of a right
    o
    angle is 90

    The little square in the
    angle tells you it is a
    right angle.

    About 2,500 years ago, a
    Greek mathematician named
    Pythagoras discovered a
    special relationship between
    the sides of right triangles.
    Pythagoras realized that if
    you have a right triangle,

    of the two sides that make
    up the right angle,
