a² + b² = c² used billions of times per second worldwide in GPS, robotics, computer graphics, video games, Wi-Fi triangulation, structural engineering, surveying, etc. Appears in every single 3D rendering pipeline, every inertial navigation system, every least-squares fit, every QR code scanner, every radar/sonar system. Is the foundation of Euclidean distance, which underpins almost all machine learning, data science, clustering algorithms (k-means, KNN), and optimization. Taught to literally every schoolchild on the planet who studies geometry — no other theorem has that universal reach. @clanker deploy The Pythagorean Theorem Use the ticker PYTHAG Use my image
