Just Right Triangles. We can usually divide a triangle in half to get at least one right triangle and determine the characteristics of the original triangle.

The Pythagorean Theorum holds true for all right angled triangles and only for right angled triangles. No other triangles are covered by his theory.

Only right triangles - you need to use the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines for other types of triangles.

Only right triangles - though there is a variant on it that applies to all triangles. You learn about that one in precalculus.

just right angles
but isosceles triangles are basically 2 right angled trianges stuck together so with a bit of playing around you can apply the theorem.
