  • Slope calculator program
    1. Create 4 variables named x1, y1, x2, y2 and give them some values
    2. Calculate the slope using those variables and store it in a variable named m
      • HINT: If you can't remember the formula for something, look it up
    3. Print out the slope
  • Circle calculator program
    1. Create a variable named radius and give it a test value
    2. Create a variable named PI and give it the value of pi (you decide how many digits)
    3. Calculate and print out the circumference of the circle. Make sure your output looks like: "Circumference: ###"
    4. Calculate and print out the area of the circle. Make sure your output looks like: "Area: ###"
  • Pythagorean theorem program
    1. Create a variable named a and give it a value
    2. Create a variable named b and give it a value
    3. Calculate and print out the length of the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem
      • Hint: You will need to square a and b with the exponent/power ** operator
      • Hint2: In order to do square root, you need to **0.5
