One topic that really sticks in my mind is the pythagorean therom.
To solve the pythagorean therom you need to first have 2 sides of a triangle and then with those 2 sides you can solve the third missing side.
The formula for this therom is a2+b2=c2 (2=squared, i just don't know how to do a squared sign on the computer)
You plug in one of the legs for a and b and for c you plug in the hypotenuse.
This therom is good for real life because if i ever go for a walk or run and want to find the shortest distance back i can find it using the pythagorean therom.
For example if i walk 3 miles and then run 4 miles i can do the pythagorean therom and see that if i go the shortest distance it will take me 5 miles to get back to my starting point. (3,4, and 5 are also pythagorean triples!)
