The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find distances between two points on a graph. It can also be used to measure unknown heights of things, like a television. In Baseball, one could use the Pythagorean theorem to figure out how far a second baseman has to throw in order to get an out at home plate.

Converse of Pythagorean Theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem allows the mathematician to determine the value of the hypotenuse. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem manipulates the formula so that the mathematician can use the values to determine that if the triangle is a right triangle.
What is the difference between the pythagorean theorem and the converse of the pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c, a2 + b2 = c2. The converse of the Pythagorean theorem states that, if in a triangle with sides a, b, c, a2 + b2 = c2 then the triangle is right and the angle opposite side c is a right angle.
Is The Distance Formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem?
No.
How do you find the perimeter of a parallelogram using Pythagorean theorem?
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.
What grade do you learn the Pythagorean theorem?
When you're in Geometry.
