That 3 4 5 dealy...
Working in steel fab. shops, you build things that quite often need to be perfectly squared. I remember when my boss taught me the best way to square an angle perfectly. You measure 3" from the corner on one flange, 4" from the corner on the other flange and if the distance between the 2 marks is 5" then it is a perfectly square angle.
Can anyone give me the theorem that proves this? I just want to gain some understanding as to why this works.
