If we were to include a 3rd coordinate of (5, 4) and join all 3 coordinates together then this will form a right angle triangle with sides of 3 and 4 then by using Pythagoras' theorem its hypotenuse would work out as 5.
But in general finding the length of a line segment is as follows:-
Square root of: (x2-x1)^2 plus (y2-y1)^2

Why is finding the perimeter of a triangle related to finding the perimeter of a rectangle?
It is not in all but a trivial sense - that they are both to do with finding the perimeter!
What are some physics formulas for finding distance?
the physics formula for finding distance is v/t or speed divided by time. An easy way to remember this is to use something called the magic triangle, it will help you figure out the formulas for time, speed and distance and essentially velocity. The triangle is D=Distance V=Speed T=Time D= Distance and T= Time V= Speed D= V x T V= D/T T= D/V Velocity's formula is Df(finale)-Di(initial)/ T or delta D/ Delta T Delta= Change
How is finding the area of a triangle different from finding the area of a rectangle?
the area of a triangle is base times height times one half and rectangle is length times width
What is a distance chart?
A distance chart is for finding the distance between two points. Usually cities.
When you are using distance formula you are calculating the length of a right triangle?
Yes when finding the lengths of lines on the Cartesian plane
What is the diagonal distance of a rectangle 84 inches wide by 85.5 inches long?
120 inches (by finding the hypotenuse of a right triangle).
What is the standard equation for finding range?
What sort of range-distance of an object, range of a plane, range of possible values, are all possible.
Finding measurements of triangle only given one angle measurement?
Not possible. There are an infinite number of triangles that all have that same one angle in them.
When you are finding the area of a triangle do you do the same for all types of triangles?
yes. When you are finding the area of a triangle you do the same for all types of triangles.
What is soh cah toa in trigonometry?

What is the formula to finding an area to a right triangle?
The area of any triangle is1/2 of (the length of the triangle's base) times (the triangle's height).

How do you find a slope of a triangle?
In a triangle there are three angle.So, the side opposite to the greatest angle will be greatest side in the triangle and hence it will be the slope of the triangle. you can find slope of any side of the triangle by finding tangent of the angle made by it to the horizontal side eg. place one side of the triangle horizontally. to find the slope of any side A, drop a normal from the apex to intersect the imaginary horizontal line.measure the length(l1) of the normal. measure the distance (l2) between the intersecting point and other end of side A. l1/l2 will give you the slope of side A.
