Math Problem: Given a long rope, can you draw a right angle conveniently?
The ancient Egyptians used the following methods to get right angles: they divided a rope into 12 segments with equal length with 13 equidistant knots, a craftsman held the 1 knot and 13 knot of the rope at the same time, two assistants held the fourth knot and the eighth knot respectively, and tightened the rope to get a right triangle.

This is the application of Pythagorean theorem.
