Explanation:

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.

Answer:

1. Construction (foundations): To make sure corners are square.
2. Navigation: To find the shortest distance between two points moving in perpendicular directions.
3. Woodworking: To cut pieces for right - angled joints.
