  find a basic square angle

  I still don’t get it, doesn’t a square have four 90 degree angles? I’m probably misunderstanding, I’ve never done any sort of calculations in English ever. I’ll Google.

    The sum of the squares of the two short sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the long side. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

      You know, oddly enough, my old ass math deficient brain recognizes the explanation and its application, but not the name or expression. Props to my educators, I might not know all the details, but I can still utilize the principles.

        The one on the left is sort of meaningless without a picture of a triangle, so don’t feel bad.

    Oh, sorry. I meant making a square angle on a surface. Super important in construction

    Can’t make an actual square if you don’t start “square”. Might be different in your language

      Just direct them to the “Pythagorean equation”?
