The Pythagorean Theorem ($a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ for a right - angled triangle with sides $a$, $b$ and hypotenuse $c$) has several real - world uses. In construction, it helps ensure corners are square (e.g., when laying out the foundation of a building). In navigation, it can be used to calculate the shortest distance between two points when moving in two perpendicular directions (like on a grid - like city layout). In woodworking, it can be used to cut pieces at the correct angles to form right - angled joints.
