this is actually the one thing i am glad to have learned in math class. saves me a lot of guesswork sometimes.
SOHCAHTOA and a calculator have been real useful for that too
I can't think of when I've actually used it.
I've seen comments about how 3, 4, 5 allows you to make a square corner with a tape measure, but I've never had an opportunity to use that trick.
I find myself trying to guess the area of things a lot more.
