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.

Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.


When did Pythagoras invent the distance formula?

Pythagoras did not invent the distance formula as we know it today; however, he is credited with the Pythagorean theorem, which is foundational to the distance calculation in a Cartesian coordinate system. The distance formula, derived from the Pythagorean theorem, was formalized much later, in the context of coordinate geometry, which developed in the 17th century with the work of mathematicians like René Descartes. Thus, while Pythagoras' theorem laid the groundwork, the distance formula itself was not attributed to him.

What is the difference in the distance formula and the Pythagorean theorem?

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.


Whom was the pythagorean theorem derived to?

It was derived to mathematicians of the time and ever since.


How do you find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane?

Derived from the Pythagorean Theorem, the distance formula is used to find the distance between two points in the plane. The Pythagorean Theorem, a2+b2=c2 a 2 + b 2 = c 2 , is based on a right triangle where a and b are the lengths of the legs adjacent to the right angle, and c is the length of the hypotenuse.


The pythagorean theorem can be developed from what?

distance formula!
