You can use pythagorean theorem twice to find the diagonal of a cube
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.
Pythagoras
The theorem is named for the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras (ca. 580-ca. 500 b.c.e.). Pythagoras is credited with the theory of the functional significance of numbers in the objective world and numerical theories of musical pitch. As he left no writings, the Pythagorean theorem may actually have been formulated by one of his disciples.

Pythagoras!
The Pythagorean Theorem, of course!
Since the Pythagorean theorem is named after the Greek mathematician Pythagoras, it was reasonable to assume that he is the first person to have it.
The guy who invented it, Pythagoras
How about the Pythagorean Theorem? Named after Pythagoras of Samos.
Pythagoras. He has the Pythagorean Theorem named after him.
A Mathematician named Pythagorean. That is why it is called Pythagorean's theorem. For every right triangle, this theorem will be true.
The Pythagorean theorem is named after the Greek mathematician Pythagoras, who by tradition is credited with its discovery and proof, although it is often argued that knowledge of the theorem predates him.
Hmmm... because HE created it ! Pythagorean theorem is named after the mathematician Pythagoras ! See related link for the Wikipedia article on the gentleman concerned !
He didn't name it. It is named after Pythagoras because he first developed the theorem.
Oh yes, the Pythagorean Theorem has been proven.
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.
