you can't, because the Pythagorean theorem is for right triangles and the triangles formed by the diagonal of a parallelogram are not right triangles.

How do you find the perimeter of a triangle using the pythagorean theorem?

The pythagorean theorem is a+b=c. So, a+b equals two of the three sides. Using your knowledge of what those two sides are will help you with figuring out the third side, but technically, the pythagorean theorem is used only for right triangles. a and b are the two straight sides and c is the diagonal side. your welcome. 8th grader

Which formula can be derived by using the Pythagorean theorem in the coordinate plane?

The Pythagorean theorem, which is the square root of the sum of the squares of two sides of a right triangle is equal to the hypotenuse, can be used to find the distance between two points. This means that it can also be used to find the equation of a line.
