      Left is the Pythagorean equation. Pretty simple, basic equation that’s easy to use and apply.

      Right is an elegant mathematical proof, so a little more “attractive” if you like maths I suppose. 😄

      Left is basic algebra/geometry that allows anyone to find a basic square angle. It’s used daily in construction. You can learn how to use it today by searching “345 triangle”

      Super useful for anyone, even meatheads like me.

        find a basic square angle

        I still don’t get it, doesn’t a square have four 90 degree angles? I’m probably misunderstanding, I’ve never done any sort of calculations in English ever. I’ll Google.

            You know, oddly enough, my old ass math deficient brain recognizes the explanation and its application, but not the name or expression. Props to my educators, I might not know all the details, but I can still utilize the principles.

              The one on the left is sort of meaningless without a picture of a triangle, so don’t feel bad.

          Oh, sorry. I meant making a square angle on a surface. Super important in construction

          Can’t make an actual square if you don’t start “square”. Might be different in your language

          e: also called a"right angle" in English l

            Just direct them to the “Pythagorean equation”?

              Already said I’m a meathead

              I just got off a 10 hour shift pulling gross floor out of a surgery recovery. Give me a break.
