Abstract
- The article discusses the application of the Pythagorean theorem in finding the diagonal of a given geometric figure. It states that the lengths of the two legs of the right triangle ACD can be solved by identifying the segment AC, which is also the hypotenuse of the right triangle ABC. It also shows how to obtain the n-dimensional distance formula to find the variation in the data set.
