i have no absaloute clue what so ever
Traditionally in the western world, walls in buildings are erected to be perfectly vertical. Rooms are constructed usually with square corners. The requirement for a building being perfectly vertical is all the more critical in high rise buildings and sky scrapers. Hence the right triangles are used in laying brick, cutting wood etc.

Why are right angles used in construction?
Right angles are equal to 90 degrees; making it completely straight. They are used in constructions so the builder can see if the building is completely straight (vertically). If the building is not 90 degrees, it is likely to collapse.
Whats the theorem used for right triangles?
The Pythagorean Theorem is a statement about triangles containing a right angle. The Pythagorean Theorem states that:"The area of the square built upon the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares upon the remaining sides."
Can the pythagorean theorem can be used for any type of triangle?
No. The Pythagorean theorem applies only to right triangles...those containing a right angle (90 degrees).
Where can Pythagoras Theorem be used?
Pythagoras' theorem can be used for right-angled triangles. Using the theorem, you are able to calculate what the length of one side of a triangle is.
What is does sine mean?
Sine is a mathematical formula used in right angled triangles. It is Opposite/Hypotenuse . Opposite being the angle opposite the angle of your choice and Hypotenuse being the longest side in your right angled triangle.
