1. Pythagorean Theorem
Definition: In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares
of the other two sides.
Example: If a=3, b=4, then c² = 3² + 4² = 25, so c=5.
Applications: Used in construction, navigation, and physics.
2. Probability Basics
Definition: The likelihood of an event occurring, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.
Example: Rolling a 6 on a fair die: 1/6 ≈ 0.1667.
Applications: Used in statistics, risk assessment, and AI models.
