Talk:Inverse Pythagorean Theorem

RFV discussion: April–May 2018
Any takers? If OK, should it be "inverse Pythagorean theorem"? SemperBlotto (talk) 14:52, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Most uses I've found refer to something different, namely that if $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$ then the angle between a and b is a right angle. Our current definition is that in a right triangle, $$a^{-2} + b^{-2} = h_c^{-2}$$, where $$h_c$$ is the altitude perpendicular to c. --WikiTiki89 18:04, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
 * This entry should be called "reciprocal Pythagorean theorem"


 * I have cited this, but the third cite includes vertical bars, so it does not format properly. I don't know how to escape those characters to make it work. Would someone please help? Kiwima (talk) 00:34, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The first and third cites are actually of a different meaning. The first is what I said above, the third I don't completely understand, but it looks like something more like $$\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c$$. --WikiTiki89 02:34, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Right you are. I was so hung up on the formatting, I didn't read for meaning. My bad. So we only have two cites. Kiwima (talk) 02:50, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Only one actually (the one that was the second one). --WikiTiki89 02:58, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
