Is a diagonal line through a rectangle equal to the vertical and horizontal sides?
No. The diagonal through a rectangle can be computed via the Pythagorean theorem: c2 = a2 + b2 where c is the diagonal length and a and b are the horizontal and vertical lengths of the rectangle.
Is the distance formula derived from Pythagorean theorem?
Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.
Who discovered pythagorean theorem?
It was years before, Pythagoras(580 BC - 500 BC) is said to have discovered Pythagorean Theorem. Strangely, 5 centuries after Pythagoras lived, the theorem Pythagorean was attributed to him. The discovery of the theorm Pythagorean came when Pythagoras was waiting for the tyrannical ruler, Polycrates. An interesting idea had flashed Pythagoras mind: A diagonal line can be used to cut or divide the square and two right triangles would be produced from the cut sides. After examining it further, Pythagoras formulated the idea in mind. Happy to help you.
How do you find the height of a triangle with a base of 16meters and the side that is not the height 18meters?
If it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean theorem. If it is iscossolese or scalene, draw line down middle, use pythagorean theorem to solve for missing side.
What is length of diagonal line in a rectangle 34 feet by 30 feet?
The diagonal line forms two triangles, each with one side 34 feet long and one side 30 feet long. Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the diagonal line which is the hypotenuse of the triangles. a^2 + b^2 = c^2 Where a and b are the sides of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse. (34)^2 + (30)^2 = c^2 1156 + 900 = c^2 2056 = c^2 45.34 = c So, the diagonal line is 45.34 feet.
