📐 Rationality of Action Action is necessarily always rational in the sense that it involves selecting means believed suitable for attaining ends. Irrational action does not exist—people can be mistaken about which means achieve their ends, but error is not irrationality. From: Human Action Learn more:

📐 Distance Formula The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is $d = \\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$ Proof: By the Pythagorean theorem applied to the right triangle formed by the horizontal and vertical displacements: $d^2 = (x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2$ Therefore $d = \\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$ From: Men of Mathematics Learn more:

💡 Equilateral Triangle Construction (Euclid I.1) Given a line segment $AB$, construct circles centered at $A$ and $B$ with radius $|AB|$. If they intersect at point $C$, then $\\triangle ABC$ is equilateral. Proof: Since $C$ lies on the circle centered at $A$, we have $|AC| = |AB|$ by definition of circle. Since $C$ lies on the circle centered at $B$, we have $|BC| = |AB|$ by definition of circle. Therefore $|AB| = |AC| = |BC|$, making $\\triangle ABC$ equilateral.
