What if the pythagorean theorem gives you a triangle that is not right?
The pythagorean theorem is only used for a right triangle. Formula: a^2+b^2=c^2 the "a" and "b" represent the legs of the triangle and the "c" represents the hypotenuse.
In the pythagorean theorem is b twice of a?
In the Pythagorean Theorem b is not twice a. The formula is [ a squared + b squared = c squared].
Is the distance formula derived from Pythagorean theorem?
Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.
What is better to use The Distance Formula or The Pythagorean Theorem?
false
How might the Pythagorean theorem and distance formula be used in everyday life?
Carpentry
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.
What if the pythagorean theorem gives you a triangle that is not right?
The pythagorean theorem is only used for a right triangle. Formula: a^2+b^2=c^2 the "a" and "b" represent the legs of the triangle and the "c" represents the hypotenuse.
Is The Distance Formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem?
No.
The pythagorean theorem can be developed from what?
distance formula!
The Pythagorean Theorem is similar to?
the slope formula and the distance formula.
In the pythagorean theorem is b twice of a?
In the Pythagorean Theorem b is not twice a. The formula is [ a squared + b squared = c squared].
Converse of Pythagorean Theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem allows the mathematician to determine the value of the hypotenuse. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem manipulates the formula so that the mathematician can use the values to determine that if the triangle is a right triangle.
Is the distance formula derived from Pythagorean theorem?
Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.
What is better to use The Distance Formula or The Pythagorean Theorem?
false
What is better the pythagorean therom or the disance formula?
Better for what??? Actually, both are closely related. The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem.
Is Pythagorean theorem is derived from the distance formula?
Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.
What letter in the pythagorean theorem is used to represent the hypotenuse?
c is used for this purpose.
