the formula: (a)(a) + (b)(b) = (c)(c)
where "a" and "b" are the sides of a triangle both squared and "c" is the hypotenuse squared
here is an example and an easier way to do imagine the number for side A is 5 and the number of B is 12
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
25 + 144 = c^2
169 = c^2
c^2 = 169
c = √169
c = 13
For any right triangle the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse
Formula: a2+b2=c2
If a and b are my legs and c is my hypotenuse, then (a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2)

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
Can the distance formula can be derived from the Pythagorean theorem?
Yes, the formula for the Euclidean distance. But not necessarily other distance metrics.
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.
The pythagorean theorem can be developed from what?
distance formula!
Is The Distance Formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem?
No.
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.
Why did Pythagoras name his formula Pythagorean Theorem?
He didn't name it. It is named after Pythagoras because he first developed the theorem.
The Pythagorean Theorem is always better to use than the Distance Formula?
False.
