How will the concepts of the Pythagorean theorem be integrated into my students learning Geometry?
====There are many separate examples of how the Pythagorean Theorem can be used in other branches of Geometry. It is important for our students to know the basic principles of the Pythagorean Theorem and build on them throughout their time spent with geometric concepts. With this being said, we must make sure that our students understand that while Pythagorean Theorem works in Euclidean Geometry, that is as far as the theory goes. It can not be applied outside of the boundaries of Euclidean Geometry. ====

The distance formula:
The Pythagorean Theorem can be applied on the coordinate plane to find the distance between two points. If two points, (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2), are located on the coodinate plane, we can determine the distance between the points using the Pythagorean Theorem. 

Through the use of the Pythagorean Theorem, we can adapt our knowledge and create the distance formula!

Sin, Cosine, Tangent:
Trigonometric ratios of right triangles!!

sine of angle A = (measure of opposite leg)/(measure of hypotenuse) cosine of angle A = (measure of adjacent leg)/(measure of hypotenuse) tangent of angle A = (measure of opposite leg)/(measure of adjacent leg)



Law of Cosines:
The Pythagorean Theorem is a specific case of a larger theorem about the side lengths of a triangle known as the Law of Cosines.
