    I'm a carpenter and this is what we call the 3,4,5 rule.

    ah.. the pythagoras theorem, i wonder how the egyptian guy found that out, was it by chance? anyways, does this guy have more platforms? if not, this channel is too underrated, love the quality of the videos!

      Thanks so much!
      And actually, this was all happening well before Pythagoras. Between this surveying technique in Egypt and clay tablets from Babylon, knowledge of that relationship in right triangles was well known long before Pythagoras. With active trade happening around the Middle East and the Mediterranean, ideas were always spreading. Pythagoras even supposedly studied in Egypt for a while. It just worked out that history stuck his name on the theorem.
      And yes, I also have my work on TikTok.

      Yea Pythagoras didnt come up with this. I wish we stop saying his name in reference to something that came before him

    Is this your 3:4:5 triangle for measuring land theory your own idea, or did you read about somewhere?

    Why 3, 4, 5?

      A triangle with sides of 3-4-5 fit in with the Pythagorean theorem. And, it's relatively tricky to find a right triangle with simple, whole number sides. For instance, 4-5-6 and most other simple combinations of sides won't make a right triangle. So, this was a clean, simple trick that could ensure they were working with a right angle.

    There's no question that Egyptians could construct right angles, but is there any evidence that they used 3-4-5 triangles to create them? What is that evidence, and from what century does it come from?

    The triangle or 3 points have always had magical powers. 3 is an incredible number... it takes 3 points for a table or objects to stand up...think bicycle ( two tires, kick stand )...or the family is a tri. Father, mother, child....or Christianity.. the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost.... three has magical powers... it takes 3 points minimum to survey property.....etc etc..
