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
In the Pythagorean Theorem b is not twice a. The formula is [ a squared + b squared = c squared].
Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.

Yes, the formula for the Euclidean distance. But not necessarily other distance metrics.
