How do you find the length of a line?
It depends on what information you have. You could use a ruler or tape measure. Or, if the information is given in the foorm of the coordinates of the end points you could find the length as follows: if the coordinates of the two end points are (a,b) and (c,d) then the length is sqrt[(a - c)2 + (b - d)2]
What should you use to find the surface area of a shoebox?
use a ruler to measure the sides then do length times width
How do you use the altitude to find the length of a right angle?
If 2 sides are known then use Pythagoras' theorem to find the 3rd side of a right angle triangle.
How do you find the length of one side of a right angle when you know the two other sides?
Use Pythagoras's theorem.
How to find the midpoint of a segment?
You find the midpoint of a line segment by dividing its length by two. If you are given two sets of 'x' and 'y' coordinates as the endpoints of the segment on a graph, then you need to use the formula [X1 plus X2]/2, [Y1 plus Y2]/2 to find the coordinates of the midpoint.
How can coordinates help you to find the area of figures on the coordinate plane?
Once you know the coordinates, you can use the distance formula to find the lengths of the sides, then using that, you can find the area.
How can you find the length of a diagonal without measuring i?
If you know the length of the sides but not the diagonal, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
When you want to find the length of a segment you use the what formula?
The distance formula providing you know the coordinates of its end points

How do you find an unknown angle of a triangle without having a length of one of the sides using sohcahtoa?
If you have the length of two of the sides and one other angle you can use the law of sines.
What should you use to find the surface area of a shoebox?
use a ruler to measure the sides then do length times width
If a shape has 8 sides of equal length what rule would you use to find its perimeter?
P = 8s where s is the length of a side.
How do you use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse if you know the lengths of the other two sides?
Square the two sides then add them up and the square root of this sum gives the length of the hypotenuse
How do you use the altitude to find the length of a right angle?
If 2 sides are known then use Pythagoras' theorem to find the 3rd side of a right angle triangle.
What do you use coordinates for?
You use it in space to find the planets
When do you use Pythagorean theorem?
To measure triangles. To find the length of a triangles side, when two sides are already given.
How do you find the length of one side of a right angle when you know the two other sides?
Use Pythagoras's theorem.
