What is the difference in the distance formula and the Pythagorean theorem?

The difference in the distance formula and the pythagorean theorem is that the distance formula finds the distance between two points while the pythagorean theorem usually finds the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Is this true or false the distance formula is equivalent to the Pythagorean theorm if your trying to find the distance between a point in the plane and the origin?

True. The distance formula, which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, calculates the distance between two points in a plane. When finding the distance between a point ((x, y)) and the origin ((0, 0)), the formula simplifies to (d = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}), which directly corresponds to the Pythagorean theorem. Thus, in this specific case, the distance formula is indeed equivalent to the Pythagorean theorem.
