The geometric realization of the cluster variable is given by lambda length described in the paper by Penner which is the study of the decorated Teichmuller space. I will introduce this notion by introducing the Teichmuller space and generalized Ptolemy theorem. We will see that this lambda length of tagged arcs form a cluster exchange pattern.
