Construction Math 101

You don't need calculus to build a house, but you do need geometry. The most common shapes in construction are rectangles (walls, floors) and triangles (roofs, stairs).

The Pythagorean Theorem

The secret to square corners.

a² + b² = c²
Used to check if a corner is perfectly 90 degrees.

The 3-4-5 Rule: Measure 3 feet along one wall, 4 feet along the other. The diagonal distance between them MUST be 5 feet. If it is, your corner is square.
