Plumber’s rule: A measuring device that has a standard scale on one side and a scale for measuring the length of 45 offsets on the other side. Pythagorean theorem: Formula that states the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Trigonometric functions: Mathematic functions, such as sine and tangent, that give the ratio between parts of a triangle. ←
