No, the Pythagorean Theorem only works on right triangles.
You could use the law of cosines, though:
c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab*cos(C)
Where C is the measure of the angle between sides a and b.
A Mathematician named Pythagorean. That is why it is called Pythagorean's theorem. For every right triangle, this theorem will be true.
Simply because the Pythagorean Theorem is not true for any triangle that doesn't have a right angle in it. If a triangle has a right angle in it, then it satisfies the Theorem. If it hasn't, then it doesn't. And if it satisfies the Theorem, then it has a right angle in it, and if it doesn't, then it hasn't.
To measure a Pythagorean triangle, you identify the lengths of its sides, typically denoted as a, b, and c, where c is the hypotenuse (the longest side). You can confirm it's a Pythagorean triangle by applying the Pythagorean theorem, which states that (a^2 + b^2 = c^2). If this equation holds true, the triangle is a right triangle, and you can measure its sides accordingly. Additionally, you can use tools like a ruler or a measuring tape for physical measurements.
The hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle and it is opposite the right angle. It is always opposite the right angle and is found by using the Pythagorean theorem.
Do you mean THEOREM? In math a theorem is a statement which is proved true by applying a chain of logic. A famous one is the Pythagorean Theorem: The sum of squares of the legs of a right triangle equals the square of the hypotenuse. A^2 + B^2 = C^2

No, it does not hold true unless the triangle has an angle of 90 degrees. In a triangle that is not a right triangle, there is no hypotenuse, just three different legs, so you cannot choose the square of one side to be equal to the squares of each of the other two sides.
True
Yes. The Pythagorean Theorem is true for only right triangles. However, a variety of other similar equations can be used for other triangle types. Law of Sines: a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC Law of Cosines: c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab*cosC

Only right triangles.
Yes
Yes it is a way of checking a true right angle.
Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.
It is true because a triangle with a right angle and two acute angles is a right angle triangle.
