The theorem of Pythagoras is used in mathematics (primarily in trigonometry and geometry), physics (for a variety of things) and is also employed in architecture and design.

it is also used to find any side of a right angle triangle

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).

How is the pythagorean theorem used in modern day times?

The Pythagorean theorem is used for many things today. For example, it can be used for building. Putting in flooring deals with squares and triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem. Some builders use this formula, because they can find the missing sides. The Pythagorean theorem plays an important role in mathematics, too. For example: -It is the basis of trigonometry -using the theorems arithmetic form, it connects algebra and geometry. -It is linked to fractal geometry His theorem is not only important in 2-D geometry, but also in 3-D geometry. Video games environments are drawn in 3-D using all triangles. i got this information from a website called: [See below for the related link to this website]. This website tells you all about how the Pythagorean theorem is used in modern day.

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.

How the Pythagoras theorem is used today?

The Pythagorean theorem is used today for the same thing it was invented for: to describe the relationship between the length of the three sides of a right triangle. Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can find the the length of the third side of a right triangle with two known lengths. This can be useful in a variety of math-based situations, such as when you need to determine the distance between two known points on a graph.
