Right Triangles

A right triangle is a triangle with 90 degrees. The sides a, b,

and c of such a triangle satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem states that the square of the

hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other
two sides.

Trigonometry deals with the relations of the sides and

angles of triangles and with the relevant function of any
angles.

Radius is a segment whose endpoints are the center of a circle

and a point on the circle.

Secant is a lne that intersects a circle at two points.

Tangent is a line that is in the same plane as a circle and

intersects the circle at exactly on point
