Pythagorean Theorem Webercise

The document provides definitions and examples related to the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs. Several examples are given of how to use the theorem to determine if a triangle is a right triangle. Real-world applications of the Pythagorean theorem discussed include using it for distance measurements in surveying.
