If you meant "Pythagorean Theorem" , the uses are almost infinite.
It is associated with finding the length of the "hypotenuse" of any right-angled triangle, given that the other two sides are known. However, a modified version of the Pythagorean Theorem allows us to find the length of any one side of any triangle, given that we know the other two sides, and the angle between them.
In physics, many calculations are based on the Pythagorean Theorem.
For Example,
The use of Trigonometric Parallax allows us to calculate the distance to relatively near stars.It involves the usage the Sun, Earth and the star in question as vertices of the right-angled triangle.

It is better to use the Pythagorean Theorem when you are trying to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the other side lengths?
yes. you can use trigonometry but phytagoreans theorem is faster and easier
How do you calculate sides of triangle if you know the height and base?
If the triangle is right-angled then you should be able to use Pytharoras Theorem to calculate the missing side otherwise you need an angle to be able to use trigonometry
What is the distance of a triangle all the way round?
It is the sum of all three sides. If you are only given 2 sides, you may need to use pythagoras' theorem, and if you are given an angle and a side you may need to use trigonometry.
How do you find the base of a right triangle when only the height is given?
Use trigonometry if another angle is given. Use Pythagoras' theorem if the hypotenuse is given. Multiply the area by 2 and divide it by its height if the area is given. Or simply measure it.
Do architects use trigonometry?
yes they do
How do you find the slant height of a cone using trigonometry?
Use Pythagoras' theorem

How do you find Missing side of a right angle?
If there is no length for the hypotenuse you have to use the Pythagorean Theorem. If there are two sides missing and a reference angle you could use Trigonometry.
How do you find out the slant height of a cone without using the Pythagorean theorem as it involves a lot of time that we may not get in cat xam?
Use trigonometry
How do you use trigonometry in ap physic?
in AP Physics (whether B or C), trigonometry is used to find the components of vectors, model the mechanics of waves (both physical and electromagnetic) and oscillations, sum the strength of fields, and use dot and cross products.

How do astronomers use trigonometry?
One example of an astronomer's use of trigonometry is determining the distance to a star by triangulation.
What jobs do you use pythagorean theorem?
A land surveyor would use this theorem.
Do farmers use trigonometry?
Well, if Edward Cullen the bloodsucking vampire can use trigonometry. Then I am asuming farmers can as well.
