Pythagorean Theorem and

Distance Formula

By: Brianne Hegwood

? QUE ES PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM ?

The Pythagorean Therom consists of a fórmula de mathimaticas.

The Formula is a2+ b2= c2. “a“ and “b” are the legs of the triangle which is ”c “is the hypotenuse.

In the Pythagorean Theory you only use an right angle or a 900degree angle.

PYTHAGOREAN THEORY AT WORK!

a2+b2=c2

42+52=c2

16+25=c2

41=c2

41 =6.4B=5

A=4C=X

Distance Formula

(X2-X1)2+(Y2 -Y1 )2

Just like when you do slope you do almost the same thing here just matching the coordinates up differently.

Distance Formula…and how it’s done!

Here are two points from a graph set up so that all I have to do is match it: (3x,1 ,4y,1) and (2x,2 ,5y,2 ). Now lets do the work…

(2-3)2 + (5-4)2

-12 + 12

-1+10

0 = 0
