The Pythagorean theorem deals with the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. The theorem states that: The sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.

Find the distance between the two points in simplest radical form <br> (4,6) and (-2,9)

MrRa [10]

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{(-2-4)^2+(9-6)^2}\implies d = \sqrt{(-6)^2+3^2}\implies d = \sqrt{36+9} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{45}\implies d = \sqrt{9\cdot 5}\implies d=\sqrt{3^2\cdot 5}\implies d = 3\sqrt{5}$

If Quadrilateral Q is a scaled copy of Quadrilateral P created with a scale factor of 3

Stolb23 [73]

I don't see a drawing of the quadrilaterals, so I don't know what the perimeter of quadrilateral P is. But whatever the perimeter of P is, Q will be 1/3 of that. Perimeter is a length, so even though it may pertain to a 2-dimensional object, it is still a 1-dimensional, linear measure. When two objects are similar (same shape, but scaled up or down by a scale factor), all corresponding linear measures have the same scale factor.

If you were asked about area or volume, that would be a different matter. In the case of area, you would square the scale factor, and in the case of volume, you would cube the scale factor.
