RIGHT TRIANGLE
Pythagorean theorem- is a relation in geometry
about the three sides of a right triangle. The
square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the
right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of
the other two sides
SOH CAH TOA-is helpful for remembering the
definitions of the trigonometric functions sine,
cosine, and tangent i.e., sine equals opposite
over hypotenuse, cosine equals adjacent over
hypotenuse, and tangent equals opposite over
adjacent.

CIRCLE
Diameter-of a circle is any straight line segment that
passes through the center of the circle and endpoints lie
on the circle. Its the longest chord of the circle.
Radius- a straight line from the center to the
circumference of a circle or sphere.
Chord- a chordthat passes through the center of
acircleis called a diameter, and is the longestchord.
