| The Pythagorean theorem enables us to draw accurate maps. This is achieved by covering the area that should be mapped with a virtual network of triangles. These triangles, via the Pythagorean theorem, allow us to measure distances and angles between stretches of land. This method is known as triangulation. | The Pythagorean theorem enables us to draw accurate maps. This is achieved by covering the area that should be mapped with a virtual network of triangles.
