The Pythagorean formula was developed by Pythagoras a Greek philosopher in order to measure the hypotenuse or the longest side of a right triangle. Many formulas have developed of this besides a square d+b squared= c squared. Including the distance formula. It is also used in coordinate planes.

The pythagorean theorem (a²+b²=c²) is a formula used to calculate the how long each side of a right triangle is. The distance formula also uses the a²+b² format but the distance formula deals with two sets of points instead of lengths.

The pythagorean theorem is used to find a missing measure length of a right triangle. (a²+b²=c²) It is similar to the distance formula because it serves the same purpose but works quite differently by using two points. The Pythagorean Theorem is an equation used to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The formula used is: a^2 + b^2 = c^2. The Pythagorean Theorem is related to the distance formula because the distance between the two points can also be thought as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Completing the remainder of the right triangle by drawing the two legs and finding their distance can help someone find the distance of the line.

The pythagorean theorem states that the sum of the squares of the shorter sides of the triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse (a^2+b^2=c^2). It is used to find the length of a side in a right triangle.

The Pythagorean Theorem is the equation a^2+b^2=c^2 is used to find the any side of a right angle triangle by substituting the lengths of two sides into the equation to find the remaining side. It is related to the distance formula(AB=sqrt[(x^2-x^1)+(y^2-y^1)])

the Pythagorean theorem which is a^2+b^2=c^2 is used to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The purpose of the Pythagorean theorem and the distance formula are very similar. The Pythagorean theorem, as we know, is used to find the distance of the hypotenuse of a right triangle and the distance formula is also used to find the distance. However, the distance formula used to find the difference between two points on a coordinate plane.

The Pythagorean Theorem is known as: a^2 + b^2 = c^2. It is used to find the hypotenuse (the longest leg) of a right angle triangle. People may consider it to be related to the distance formula because of many reasons. For one thing, trying to find the distance of a line, is like trying to find the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle without knowing the measurement of the other two legs.You basically take the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem and use it in the distance formula to find the distance of a line. That's what makes these two formulas related.

The Pythagorean theorem is a formula that calculates the hypotenuse of a triangle. We use it many times when we aren't able to use a ruler/tool for measurement. It relates to the distance formula because many time you must find the distance between two points. You are then able to make a right triangle by adding a point and thus from there you are turning the distance between the two points into the hypotenuse.

The Pythagorean Theorem is a formula that give the measure of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. According to most textbooks, the theorem was invented by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras who lived on the island of Samos. However, recent evidence suggest that the formula was invented by mathematicians of Ancient India in the name of Vedas Bodhayan Sutra. The use of the Pythagorean Theorem goes far beyond right angles and is a method that can calculate the distance between two points(like the distance formula). When you have two points, you can add a third point to form a right triangle and you can use the Theorem to find the distance between the two points. Finally, both the Pythagorean Theorem and the Distance Formula use squares and square roots to compute the distance between two points.

When you add a third point to make the point into a right triangle, the first two points become a hypotenuse that can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem.

I found a lot of other things online about the theorem before pythagoras. According to some websites he was the first known person to prove it. Anyway here is what i found. Most of this is copy pasted so...

The Pythagorean Theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. This formula can be used on any right triangle. The variable c represents the hypotenuse, or the longest side of a right triangle. Variables a and b represent the other two sides. This relates to the distance formula because the Pythagorean Theorem is also used to find the distance of the side of the triangle

The Pythagorean theorem deals with the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. It is often represented on the form a2 + b2 = c2, in which a and b represent the legs of the triangle while c represents the hypotenuse. It is used to determine the value of any missing side.

The Pythagorean Theorem is the formula used to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The formula is: a^2+b^2=c^2. This relates to the distance formula because if we only know the measure of the legs, we use the formula to find the measure/distance of the hypotenuse.

The pythagorean theorem is used to find a side of a right angle triangle, usually the hypotenuse with the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The Pythagorean theorem is a formula used for usually finding a leg or the hypotenuse of a right triangle and a right triangle only. The formula is a^2+b^2=C^2, where a and b are legs of the right triangle, while c is the hypotenuse of the triangle. This formula relates to the distance formula because in the distance formula, you have to use the formula to find the desired length. The distance formula can also be found by creating a right triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse. The distance between the points would be the hypotenuse. If you don't want to find the distance using the Pythagorean theorem, you can use the distance formula: [(x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2]

The Pythagorean theorem is a formula used for finding the hypotenuse of a right triangle by using the two legs of the right triangle. The formula itself is a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse. This is related to the distance formula because the distance formula makes the actual distance the hypotenuse and the distance gone up or down and the distance gone sideways as the legs

The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find either a leg or the hypotenuse, or the longest side of a right triangle. It can be written in an equation:a^2+b^2= c^2, when a and b are either leg of the the right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse. If you have at least the measure of 2 of the sides, then you will be able to substitute them into the equation to find the missing side. The distance formula uses the Pythagorean Theorem by creating an imaginary right triangle to find the distance between two points, or the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find a side of a right triangle, written exponentially as a^2+b^2=c^2. The distance formula works on the same premise as instead of adding the squares and finding root of the sum, you would subtract the coordinates of (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) as x2-x1 and y2-y1, then you would square the differences, find the sum and then find the root of the sum. You can also say the similarities lie in that finding the distance of two points is using an imaginary triangle.

The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find a side of triangle (only right triangles though). The formula used itself is (a²+b²=c²). The variable "C" always refers to the longest side of the triangle. Variables "B" and "A" are always referring to the legs of the triangle. Comments are closed.
