What is the meaning of hypothenuse?
a hypothenuse is a side of the triangle that is not a leg the hypothenuse formula is c2 = a2 + b2, where c is the lengt of the hypothenuse. The hypothenuse is the longest side of a triangle. That's why a triangle with 60 degree angles does not have a hypotenuse, onlye three sides of an equivalent length.
How can the distance formula help you determine if the triangle is scalene isosceles or equilateral?
Use the distance formula to calculate the distances between the three vertices. If they are all different, the triangle is scalene, if only two are the same, the triangle is isosceles, and if they are all the same, the triangle is equilateral.
When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of what of a right triangle?
Its hypotenuse
Who invented the distance formula?
Pythagoras invented the distance formula
How do you calculate the formula for distance?
== I'm pretty sure the formula for distance is: D== rt (Distance= rate x time) == The formula for distance is: speed x time.

When building a distance formula what kind of triangle are you building?
right triangle
When you use the Distance Formula you are building a triangle whose hypotenuse goes between two given points?
right triangle
When you use the distance formula what are you building whose hypotenuse connects two given points?
right triangle
When you use the distance formula you are building a right triangle whose shorter leg connect two given points?
That is correct
What is the formula to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle with 2 sides given?
c2=a2 + b2 where c2 is the hypotenuse squared and "a" and "b" are each side of the triangle Remember the hypotenuse is the length of the triangle opposite the right angle. Rearrange the formula so the hypothenuse c = the square root of a2 + b2
When you use the distance formula you are building a right triangle whose shorter leg connect two points?
Yes and in effect you are using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
When you use the distance formula you are building what kind of triangle goes between two given points?
I'm pretty sure it's a right triangle I'm not sure though. Ask your teacher
