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.

Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.Converse: If the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides of a triangle, then it is a right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equivalent to the sum of the squares on the two adjacent sides.
You can use pythagorean theorem twice to find the diagonal of a cube
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
pythagorean theorem was named from a greek mathemition called pythagorus (I think that's how you spell it)
