Squaring Up Your Posts

How to square up your posts.
You can use the simple Pythagorean Triples like 3,4,5 and 6,8,10 and 9,12,15 if you like it simpler.

Thanks mate, building a garage. I’m in Australia but I always get good tips for you guys in the USA. Cheers 👍

[@AroundTheHome1]

Awesome! Thank you! Thanks for watching in Australia!

And just like that, i found my favorite youtube channel 🔥

Awesome, thank you!

A simpler use of this theorem is to measure 4 ft on one side. The next side to be 90 degrees from the previous side, measure 3 ft. From these 2 marks the diagonal will be 5 ft ti be a square 90 degree corner. 4 squared is 16. 3 squared is 9. 16+9=25. Square root of 25=5.

a2+b2=c2

Aka the 3, 4, 5 rule

Thank you.

Easier way is 3,4, 5. So if you measure from a corner, 3 meters and then measure from the same corner but 90° 4 meters then diagnal between your 2 points should be 5 meters. Then you know youre square. Can do 4, 6, 10 as well

[@AroundTheHome1]

Yep, mention that in the video description. You know, if you want it easy like that I mean.

Use a square off the house using the long side , to double check using 345

I use a large aluminum "square" against the post and line it up with the string .

[@silver60618]

The square is only as good as your triangles leg. i.e. you can put the square against the post and turn it 360 degrees, and it will still be "square" 🤣

For a right angle, it's much easier to use 3-4-5, or 6-8-10, or even 5-12-13. But 14.14 is not only inconvenient, it's also inaccurate. If you insist on using 10 ft by 10 ft, rounding the answer off to two decimal places introduces an error and then when you convert .14 feet to inches and fractions, you have to round off again, which increases the error even more. And that's on top of whatever errors you will get from tiny mistakes made by human hands. You should have kept all the decimal places the calculator gave you until after you convert to 1/64th of an inch. Sqrt(200) = 14.1421356 feet, then multiply the decimal by 12 for inches and multiply that decimal by 64 for 1/64ths of an inch. We have 14 feet, then multiply .1421356 x 12 = 1.7056272 so that's 1 inch and then .7056272 x 64 = 45.1601408 and THEN round it off to 45/64. All together, it's 14 feet, 1 and 45/64 inches. Now, if you don't care about 1/64ths of an inch and you just want it within a quarter inch, then you can round .7056272 off to 3/4 and call it 14 feet, 1 and 3/4 inches. But still you should round off AFTER you convert to inches, not right when you hit the square root button. Like I said, it's much easier if you use 3-4-5, 6-8-10, or 5-12-13 because then you don't have to convert decimals to inches and fractions and round off anything. Measure eight feet along the foundation, six feet out from the foundation, the hypotenuse should be exactly ten feet. Not ten feet plus some number of inches or fractions of an inch, just ten feet exactly. Unless, of course, you have some special unique measuring tape that is marked in hundredths of a foot. I don't have anything like that. Do you? In metric, this problem gets easier. Just calculate in meters and round off to three places past the decimal point. If it's 3 meters out and 3 meters over, the hypotenuse is sqrt(18) = 4.24264069, so you just have to measure 4.243 meters with your measuring tape. There's no conversion to inches and fractions. It's 4 meters plus 243 millimeters. That's easy to measure with a metric measuring tape. But even then, it's easier to use 3 meters 4 meters 5 meters.

Hip hip hurray for Pythagorean’s insight

[@Taylormade2350]

He is not insisting on it. You CLEARLY heard him say that was just an example and you didn’t have to use it.

I’m a year late to class but it’s Pythagorean or Pythagoras’ Theorem 😒

[@jasonvegas3593]

The birds!!!! Omg the birds!!!! Good video but I couldn’t hear it over the zoo Eagle habitat

[@AroundTheHome1]

I know, this is one of my old videos. I use a lapel mic now and it really helps with the audio.

[@jasonvegas3593]

@@AroundTheHome1 still a good video. Just had to comment on the birds. I actually used your method today after watching this video. I don’t have all my posts up yet, but so far so good!

thank you for your help.... but when i typed into google it gave me your video without the ability to give thumbs up or subscribe, I had to search you out on youtube to do this.... just an fyi just thought it was wrong that google didn't give credit to you!

HOW???

[@roostersofer5759]

you make it so hard , to long . just say 3 , 6 , 9 or 2, , 4, 6. and be done with it. we don't have time to go back to school and take a stupid math class. make it simple.

[@AroundTheHome1]

Sorry that the Pythagorean Theorem was too much for you to handle. I thought most people would like to see something they learned in school actually applied to the real world. I do mention a few of the Pythagorean Triples in the video description.
