Question 209437: We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems that involve right triangles. Provide an example of a day-to-day situation that involves right triangles and the use of the theorem. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Carpenters and builders use it determine if 2 walls are "square", if the corner is 90º.
They measure 3 feet on one wall and 4 ft on the other, then check if the diagonal is 5 feet. If it's 5 ft, the angle is 90º.
