What must you do to non-perpendicular vectors before you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the resultant of the vectors?

You must find the x and y components of each vector. Then you add up the like x components and the like y components. Using your total x component and total y component you may then apply the pythagorean theorem.


What do you use to find the horizontal distance between two points?

The Pythagorean Theorem. Consider the right triangle including the two points and a third point having the same x coordinate as one and the same y coordinate as the other. Apply the Pythagorean theorem. For (x1, y1) and (x2,y2): dist. = sqrt((x1-x2)2 + (y1-y2)2)


Is it True Or false Euclid Was the first to apply for geometry?

I would describe that statement, that Euclid was the first to apply for geometry, as confusing, rather than as being either true or false. People apply for jobs, they apply for loans, they apply for disability payments, they apply for grants, but they do not apply for geometry. People study geometry, they write about geometry (which is what Euclid did) and they use geometry to solve various problems, but they don't apply for geometry.


The side of a right triangle oppossite the right angle?

that is called the hypotenuse. If you have the measurements of the first to sides, you can apply the pythagorean theorem to find out the hyp. the formula is a^2+b^2=c^2
