  1. http://scidiv.bcc.ctc.edu/math/Pythagoras.html Pythagorean Theorem: The Pythagorean Theorem says that in any right triangle, the lengths of the hypotenuse and the other two sides are related by a simple formula. http://www.emsl.pnl.gov:2080/docs/mathexpl/pythag.html In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the measures of the legs equals the squares of the measures of the hypotenuse.

  2. So, if you know the lengths of any two sides of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side: The Pythagorean Theorem is true for all right triangles. There are many ways, called proofs, to show that this is true.

  3. The distance between two points on the same quadrant of the coordinate plane involves the use of the PITHAGOREAN THEOREM Example 3 (p.30): Find the distance from A(1,2) to B(6,14) using the Pythagorean Theorem. The distance between any two points with Coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the formula: d = (x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2 • Practice: find the distance between H(2,3) and K(-3,-1) • Example 4 (p.31): Find PQ for P(-3,-5) and Q(4,-6)
