Geometry Foundations to the Pythagorean Theorem

Move from the language of points, lines, and planes through triangles, angles, length, and right triangles to the Pythagorean theorem.

This is a suggested learning sequence, not a universal logical dependency or a formal proof.

1. Stage 1 · required

   Points, lines, and planes

   First distinguish geometric positions, extended objects, and their diagrams.
