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-angles triangles. That is triangles that contain one angle at 90 degrees.
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
