New Concepts:

Investigating Pythagoras Theorem


Identify and generate Pythagorean triplets

Apply Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate the lengths of sides in right-angled triangles in


real-world contexts.
Find the distance between two points located on the Cartesian plane using the
distance formula.

Find the midpoint of a line segment using the midpoint formula.
