1. 1. Pythagorean Theorem and Distance Formula By : Anthony Williams
2. 2. -What is the Pythagorean Theorem? What do the variables stand for? What type of triangle do we use the theorem for?
   • a^2 + b^2 = c^2
   • 3. C is always the base of the triangle and a and b are always on the side of the triangle.
   • 4. We use a right triangle.
3. 5.
   • X^2 + 12^2 = 20^2
   • 6. X^2 + 144= 400
   • 7. 400-144=256
   • 8. Square root 256
   • 9. 16
   20 x 15 Triangle with Labeled Sides.
4. 10. Distance Formula
   • What is distance formula?
   • 11. Distance formula is when you use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.
   • 12. What steps do you follow to use the distance formula?
   • 13. You use
5. 14.
   • (2, 1) (1, 5)
   • 15. (5-1)^2+(1- -2)^2
   • 16. (4^2)+(3^2)
   • 17. 16+9=25
   • 18. 25=5
