you dont even need to use pythagorus' theorum to work it out, it sticks out like a sore thumb as a pythagorean triple (right angle triangle whose sides are all integers). 3,4,5 is the smallest one, and all multiples of it (6, 8, 10 etc), and 5, 12, 13 is the other one I know. :geek:

Just for reference to all those people who said its crap and they'll never use it, all the distance calculations on Location Services are based on that theorem.

and its used for resolving resultant forces acting on an object sometimes (although to be fair it isn;t usually 90 degrees) Maths is great, I kinda miss it
