The Pythagorean Theorem centers around the right triangle, a figure which is used in countless applications in every day life. The right triangle, and the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to calculate the height of a building or various other objects. It can also be used to calculate the distance between two points, to determine if an object is “square”, or even to check out the slope of a ramp.
