The Pythagorean theorem says that the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse. If you know the lengths of all three sides of a triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to verify whether the triangle is a right triangle or not.

Common polygons include triangles, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, octagons… The perimeter of a polygon is the distance around the outside. In general, to find the perimeter of a polygon, you can add up the lengths of all of its sides.

It includes exercises for classifying triangles, determining unknown side lengths, and verifying right triangles through the theorem, along with a brief mention of calculating square roots.

The area of the triangle formed by joining the tips of \(\textbf{r}_1\) and \(\textbf{r}_2\) is \(A_3\). The two vector products are parallel vectors (they are each perpendicular to the plane of the paper), of magnitudes \(2A_3\) and \(2A_2\) respectively. (\(2A_3\) is the area of the parallelogram of which the vectors \(\textbf{r}_1\) and \(\textbf{r}_2\) form two sides.)
