Quadrilateral

(x + y) 2 = x 2 + 2xy + y 2
(x - y) 2 = x 2 - 2xy + y 2
(x + y) (x - y) = x 2 - y 2

Pythagorean theorem (90/right angle)


a = 3, 5, 7 30-60-90 Angle = 1, 1.7, 2
0/4 = 0
b = 4, 12, 24
4/0 = undefined
Number Properties c = 5, 13, 25
PEMDAS
Please [parentheses]
Excuse [exponents]
My [multiplication] ~ A line is 180 degrees angle
45-45-90 Right isosceles = 1, 1, 1.4
Dear [division] ~ Every triangle contains 180 degrees

Aunt [addition] ~ The longest side of a triangle is opposite the largest (visa versa)

Sally [subtraction]

~ A Prime Number can be divided evenly only by 1, or itself.


Neither 0 nor 1 is prime
~ Prime factorization of 12 is 2*2*3 | 15 is 3*5
