No, the pythagorean theorem only works on right triangles, but it will work on any right triangle.
This is because the Pythagorean Theorem states that length of Leg A squared plus the length of Leg B Squared equals the length of the hypotenuse squared. A hypotenuse is always found opposite a right angle. Only right triangles have right angles; therefore, the Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles. :D

What kind of triangles does the Pythagorean theorem work for?
All right angle triangles
Does the Pythagorean Theorem work on squares?
No. The Pythagorean Theroem can ONLY be used on right triangles. Also, If you know one side of the square you know all sides of the square because a square has four equal sides.
Does the Pythagoream Theorem Work on all triangles?
No, only right triangles
Is L a theorem is all about right triangles?
If you are referring to Pythagoras' theorem for right angle triangles then the theorem states that for any right angle triangle the square of its hypotenuse is equal to the sum of its squared sides.
When finding the resultant of two vectors at right triangles you should use what?
Like with all other right triangles, use the Pythagorean Theorem. If you have 2 vectors that form a right triangle, the resultant should be the hypotenuse. So you just need to square both of the vectors, add them together, then take the square root. a2+b2=c2
What kind of triangles does the Pythagorean theorem work for?
All right angle triangles
Does the Pythagorean Theorem work on all triangles with side length of 1?
it works on all right triangles
Is the Pythagorean theorem is true for all similar triangles?
Only right triangles.
Can Pythagorean Theorem be used on all types of triangles?
No it can only be used with right angle triangles.
Does the Pythagorean Theorem work on squares?
No. The Pythagorean Theroem can ONLY be used on right triangles. Also, If you know one side of the square you know all sides of the square because a square has four equal sides.
Does pythagoras' theorem work for all triangles?
no only right triangles
Does the Pythagoream Theorem Work on all triangles?
No, only right triangles
How is the pythagorean theorem used in modern day times?
The Pythagorean theorem is used for many things today. For example, it can be used for building. Putting in flooring deals with squares and triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem. Some builders use this formula, because they can find the missing sides. The Pythagorean theorem plays an important role in mathematics, too. For example: -It is the basis of trigonometry -using the theorems arithmetic form, it connects algebra and geometry. -It is linked to fractal geometry His theorem is not only important in 2-D geometry, but also in 3-D geometry. Video games environments are drawn in 3-D using all triangles. i got this information from a website called: [See below for the related link to this website]. This website tells you all about how the Pythagorean theorem is used in modern day.
Will the exterior angle theorem work for all triangles?
Yes, all plane triangle.
Does the Pythagorean relationship apply to all triangles?
no
How do you use the Pythagorean theorem without a graph?
If you drive 9 miles north from your house, then turn and drive 12 miles east, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate that you wind up 15 miles from home. You don't need a graph at all to do that. You just have to know the Pythagorean theorem.
What is pythagorean spiral?
it is a series of isosceles triangles with all 90 degree angles and consist of 17 triangles
