: How do ancient theorems like Pythagoras’ theorem and Heron’s formula work with the metric system , even though they were invented way before it ?

Answer 1

You could test your assumptions by applying the metric system units to your triangle or whatever unit you want. I’m not a math wiz but I’m going to guess that the theorems will hold up to any unit of measurement you want to use. Otherwise, how did any body build anything in any country with some kind of geometry
