a2+b2=c2

Pythagorean theorm!!
b = the square root of (c2 - a2)
Dispute between 582BC and 569BC...
The great pythagorean theorm: a(squared) + b(squared) = c(squared)
Any time you measure distance using triangulation or utilise angles in theorems.
the slope formula and the distance formula.
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.
Better for what??? Actually, both are closely related. The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem.
Because he did not write things down, it is hard to say. Most historians believe that the Sumerians used it, but Pythagoras proved it to always be true.
No.
distance formula!
