Chapter 2, "Geometry Snippets"Pythagorean TheoremIn a right triangle, the square of the length c of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths a and b of the other two sides: c 2 = a 2 + b 2 . Distance Formula in 2D
where P 1 ( x 1 , y 1 ) and P 2 ( x 2 , y 2 ) are points on the line. Distance Formula in 3D
where P 1 ( x 1 , y 1 , z 1 ) and P 2 ( x 2 , y 2 , z 2 ) are points on the line. Midpoint Formula in 2D
is the midpoint between P 1 ( x 1 , y 1 ) and P 2 ( x 2 , y 2 ). Midpoint Formula in 3D
is the midpoint between P 1 ( x 1 , y 1 , z 1 ) and P 2 ( x 2 , y 2 , z 2 ). Parabola with a Vertical Axisy = a ( x “ h ) 2 + k , with vertex ( h , k ) and axis of symmetry x = h .
