Left is basic algebra/geometry that allows anyone to find a basic square angle. It's used daily in construction. You can learn how to use it today by searching "345 triangle"

Super useful for anyone, even meatheads like me.

Pythagorean theorem

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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

OK now I get it.

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

e: also called a"right angle" in English l

Just direct them to the "Pythagorean equation"?

Already said I'm a meathead

I just got off a 10 hour shift pulling gross floor out of a surgery recovery. Give me a break.

Give you a break? You deserve the entire evening and even night off of work!

Alright man, this isn't an attack on you...
