The simple answer is yes. The mathematicians will drive you nuts if you listen to them. It is not the Pythagorean theory. it is a isosceles triangle. you know a "Right" angle you know 90 degrees. Forget it you are right any multiple of 3,4, and 5 will give you a perfect "Right" angle.

yes, the 3,4,5 rule depends on the fact that the sum of the square of 3 and 4 equals the square of 5.

3 squared is 9 , 4 squared is 16; add these together and you get 25 which is the square of 5.

9 squared plus 12 squared is 81 + 144 or 225. The square root of 225 is 15.

As long as mathematically the length squared + width squared = the diagonal squared (a^2 + b^2 = c^2 or a*a + b*b = c*c) you have a square.
