If the area of the squares drawn on the two shorter sides of a triangle, added together, is equal to the area of the square drawn on the longest side, then the triangle is right-angled, with the two shortest sides being mutually perpendicular, and the longest side being the hypotenuse (being the longest, and opposite the right angle formed by the intersection of the other shorter sides).

What jobs use the Pythagorean Theorem?
You would use the Pythagorean Theorem when you are trying to determine the length of a side on a right triangle.ORYou might use the Pythagorean Theorem if you are carpenter or builder. A carpenter might use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle) or the length of the wall or roof. Use can use this methed or theorem in any building situation.
How do architects use the pythagorean theorem?
Architects use the Pythagorean theorem to check distances, heights, etc...that cant be measured
Can you use pythagorean theorem to find x on a right triangle?
It depends on what x is and what information you have. For example, if no side lengths are known, the Pythagorean theorem is not going to be any use!
How do you find the pythagorean theorem of a triangle?
The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2. It is used for right triangles. If you know two of the sides, you can use the theorem to find the third side.
When the angle between two displacement vectors is 90 degrees you can use the what theorem?
