I am a geography student and we study maps a lot. You can use the pythagorean theorem to find distances on maps from one place to another using the grids on the map and then convert the map scale to see how far apart they actually are on the ground. It is actually pretty cool. I never thought I'd use the pythagoran theorem for anything!

Pythagoras theorm can be used in the following ways:-
1)determining the trajectory of a bullet or the distance from something you are
2)Walls were erected using the Pythagorean theorem.
3)a squared + b squared = C squared
4)it can be used to find distances on maps from one place to another using the grids on the map and then convert the map scale to see how far apart they actually are on the ground. It is actually pretty cool. I never thought I'd use the pythagoran theorem for anything!

When travelling across land.
If travelling in the directions similar to a right triangle, you can figure out the distance between two points using the distance of three points. Using the theorem for distances across land can be very practical for different uses.

If you have the length of a ladder and the distance betwwen the wall and the ladder,
Then you can find at what height of the wall the ladder will touch
using pythagoras theorem.
etc.etc.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Look at the walls around you (I assume... you know what walls are, though).
Those were erected using the Pythagorean theorem.

ITS TRUE THAT ONE CAN USE PYTHAGORAS THEOREM IN MATHS PROBLEMS .BUT THERE ARE OTHER USES TOO.
IT IS USED IN THE WORLD OF ARCHITECTURE AND IN CONSTUCTION OF BUILDINGS.
IT IS USED TO FIND THE SPEED OF SOUND IN WATER.
IT IS USED BY GEOLOGISTS TO FIND THE CENTER OF THE EARTHQUAKE.

A(sq) + B(sq) = C(sq) is only true on a right triangle. Now can you think of any apps?
