Just how useful is the pythagoras theorem?
 
Well you remember back in school when you learnt about the pythagoras theorem and it was pretty cool (well maybe you didn't but if you're an engineer you probably did).  You learnt about the areas of triangles and all was good,  then along came funky software and you probably haven't used it since. 

Turns out this nifty little formula may be a little more useful than you expected.  Run your eyes over this a few times and see how you can take advantage of this formula in investigating the relationships of many other items.
