E (2,3)

Question

Shadow · Answer

I am sure there is an image to relate the points D and E to us. Can you provide it?

Shadow · Answer

Pythagorean Theorem:
$$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$

Just a blank graph, I had to plot them myself.

Shadow · Answer

They only give you two points?

lolokrat · Answer

yup

lolokrat · Answer

i typed this up, this is the formula i have on my notes

Shadow · Answer

$$D = \sqrt (x _{2-} x _{1})^2 + (y _{2} - y _{1})^2$$

lolokrat · Answer

yeah thats distance formula i know how to use that one but its telling me to use pythagorean theorem

Shadow · Answer

Pretty sure you would use this one.

It's the formula for distance between two points. As you can see, some similarities to Pythagorean Theorem. It is derived from it.

Shadow · Answer

Yeah you are technically using it.
