Good question! Nothing jumps out to me immediately, but whether something is useful is mostly down to our perspective. As a quick example, imagine you had a ramp that could be unrolled:

The hypotenuse would be the length of the ramp itself, which is probably a useful (maybe the most useful) measurement in the system? (If you have a car driving up at 60 mph, you'd need to know the hypotenuse distance to get the travel time, not the x-axis distance.)

I was wondering about the hypotenuse in this triangle. It seems pretty meterless, but I still would like to ask: does it mean anything? Of course, knowing its length, you could find the r but in solving any problem or exercise it still appears to me as useless.

Thanks Rishabh, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the idea, I had an old Q&A part that I've been meaning to put back. I'll make an announcement for the site when it's ready. Thanks for asking about it!

I have been using your website from quite some time and I absolutely love it. One thing I find you should add is questions on the site. I can help you with that. Let me know
