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.
Given the coordinates of two points in the plane you can use either the Distance Formula or the Pythagorean Theorem?
Answer: True
How are the Pythagorean Theorem and distance formula related to each other?
Because a right angle triangle can be formed by the given coordinates and the length of the line is the hypotenuse of the triangle and so by using Pythagoras' theorem its length or distance can be found. Distance formula: square root of [(x1-x2)^2 plus (y1-y2)^2)]
The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. true or false?
True
Why the distance formula is not needed to find the distance between two points that lie on a horizontal or vertical line?
It is used, except that, because one set of coordinates are the same, the formula collapses into a simpler form.

Verdadero
Distance between 8 -13 and 1 -7 Midpoint between 8 -13 and 1 -7?
For the distance, use the Pythagorean formula. For the midpoint, take the average of the x-coordinates, and the average of the y-coordinates.

Answer: True
The Pythagorean Theorem is similar to?
the slope formula and the distance formula.
Is The Distance Formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem?
No.
The pythagorean theorem can be developed from what?
distance formula!
How can distances and midpoints be found on the coordinate plane when you can't easily count blocks?
If you have the coordinates, you can do calculations. You can get the distance with the Pythagorean formula; the x-point of the midpoint is the average of both x-coordinates, similar for the y-point.
How do you write the distance between points a and b?
If you know the coordinates either measure it or use the distance formula
Can the distance formula can be derived from the Pythagorean theorem?
Yes, the formula for the Euclidean distance. But not necessarily other distance metrics.
Is The pythagorean theroem derived from the distance formula?
the answer is false
A formula used to find the distance between two and points?
The straight-line distance can be calculated with the Pythagorean theorem:distance = square root of (delta-x squared + delta-y squared + delta-z squared)Where delta-x is the difference in the x-coordinates, etc.On a flat surface, you only need two coordinates (x and y).
