When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of a right triangle which goes between two given points?
Yes, the Euclidean distance is the length of the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle whose other two vertices are at the two given points.

What is the difference between a triangle and an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has to have two sides of equal length. An isosceles triangle has to have two sides of equal length.
If a triangle has a length of 10 and a width of 20 what is its area?
If the "length" of this triangle is the distance from the base to the vertex of the two other sides, it is 100 units^2. (1/2*10*20) if the 'length' is not the aforementioned distance, you do not have enough information.

Is the longest distance between two points in a triangle the length of the longest side?
The largest side of a triangle is directly across from the largest angle of that triangle.
When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of a right triangle which goes between two given points?
Yes, the Euclidean distance is the length of the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle whose other two vertices are at the two given points.
What is the distance between the two points 2 3 and 3 0?
We use the distance formula to find the distance between the points (2,3) and (3,0) The distance is Square root of ((3^2+(2-3)^2)= Square root of (9+1) Which is square root of 10. This is the distance. This works because if we draw a triangle with one side having length 3 and another side having length 1, we have a right triangle. THis is because the side of length 3 is vertical and the side of length 1 is horizontal. Now the hypotenuse of this triangle is the line between the two points in question. So the length of the hypotenuse is the distance between the points. However, the pythagorean theorem tells us this distance is the square root of 1^2 +3^2=Square root of 10

What is the difference between length and perimeter?
Length is the distance between two different points. But perimeter is the distance between the same point. Really interesting. Isn't it? Perimeter of sqaure is 4 x side Perimeter of rectangle is 2 (length + breadth) Perimeter of triangle is a + b + c Perimeter of a circle is specially named as circumference.
What is the difference between an isoceles triangle and an equilateral triangle?
An isoceles triangle has TWO sides of equal length but an equilateral triangle has THREE sides of equal length
