Ok. . . I have two sets of X/Y points. . . Lets say 2,4 and 5,9 I need to find the distance between the two points, what is the equation to do that? Thanks in advance. I know I learned this earlier in the year in my Geometry class but I can't find my notes about it. Laughing

The distance would be the square root of (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2.

Which in this case would be: The square root of (5-2)^2 + (9-4)^2, or 5.83.

(5-2 is 3, to the second power is 9. 9-4 is 5, to the second power is 25. 9 + 25 is 34, and the square root of 34 is 5.83 (rounded).)

Geometry sucked. This was the first math class that I almost failed. Granted, my Geometry teacher sucked, so that did help.

whoa.

I thought it was the pythagoras theorem (yes I know the guy's name was pythagoras)

Nope, it's Pythagorean.

Edit: I bet both would be correct, though.

I get what Crimson means. . . Find out how far horizontally and vertically I need to go, then find the diagonal. A^2 + B^2 = C^2

It's still the Pythagorean Theorem.

What about working out the distance between:

(3,5,9)
and
(-2,3,3)

Easy Razz

Um... Distance = sqrt( (P2.x - P1.x)^2 + (P2.y - P1.y)^2 + (P2.z - P1.z)^2 )

about 8.06225....

I've seen this equation in every math. Granted, distance formula is for coordinates and Pythagorean theorem is for triangles, they're basically the same thing. You'll learn to love this equation

They aren't "basically" the same thing. They ARE the same thing.

What about the perimeter of this triangle:

A (4,6,Cool
B (2,9,6)
C (7,3,6)

something like this i think,Pythagorean Theorem a 2 + b 2 = c 2 , where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b are the lengths of the legs =)
