In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem, also known as Pythagoras's theorem, is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

What is the formula for the hypotenuse length of the nth triangle in a Theodorus Spiral?
The hypotenuse of the nth triangle has a length of sqrt(n+1)
When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of what of a right triangle?
Its hypotenuse
When you use the Distance Formula you are building a right triangle whose hypothenuse goes between two given points?
hypotenuse, hypotenuse
What is the hypotenuse formula when you know the height and base?
If it is a right angled triangle then this is known as Pythagoras' theorem: height2+base2 = hypotenuse2 ⇒ hypotenuse = √(height2 + base2)
What is hypotenuse in an isosceles triangle?
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.
