Credit is given to the Greek mathematician Pythagoras but the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians knew of the properties of a right angle triangle long before Pythagoras

Sounds like you mean Pythagoras.
Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.
The Babylonians and Indians were the first to study the angles and features of special right triangles. This occurred long before Pythagoras and his followers were credited with the discovery.
Firstly, you spelt interesting wrong Nonetheless one INTERESTING fact that some believe that Pythagoras stole his formula from the babylonians who stole it from the Indians.

Pythagoras invented the distance formula
Yes, it's called Pythagoras theorem
Use the Pythagoras formula. In this case, squareroot(3002 + 4002) = 500.Use the Pythagoras formula. In this case, squareroot(3002 + 4002) = 500.Use the Pythagoras formula. In this case, squareroot(3002 + 4002) = 500.Use the Pythagoras formula. In this case, squareroot(3002 + 4002) = 500.

He didn't name it. It is named after Pythagoras because he first developed the theorem.
The Pythagorean Theorem derived its named from Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician who is credited for the formula. However, a recent study showed that ancient cultures have already proved the formula long before any of the Greeks did.
Pythagoras is most famous for discovering Pythagoras' Theorem, which is a formula for finding lengths of sides on a right angled triangle. The formula is: a2+b2= c2 where c is the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle) and a and b are the shorter sides.
Pythagoras' theorem :)
Although t is known as Pythagoras' theorem and thus about 2500-2600 years old, considering Pythagoras lived between 5th and 6th century BC, it was known before this. There is evidence that the Babylonians of 20th to 16th century BC (some 1000 years before Pythagoras) knew it, making it about 3600-4000 years old.
Probably the Babylonians because they were the first ones to used that formula around 700 BC.
