Use in real life
I actually did use this in real life. I was constructed a deck and I wanted it 90 degrees to the house. Measure from where you want the deck to 3' along the house. Then measure again from where you want the to meet the house out 4'. Next measeure the hypotenuse so that it is 5' long. This way you form a very accurate 90 degree angle off of the house.

Thanks for asking :-)

You're right
I do remember teaching this when I had a grade 5 class. I know that many students need a reminder by grade 8

- later edit .
  i didn't mean to brag . i simply said that in my country we learn this stuff at school when we are a lot more younger .
  
  also, you can't use this formula in daily life :-s , it's plain rubish . that's why i hate school so bad . >:p

If It can called a theorem so I think in my country .... All are Dr or Ph.D because we did it when we was at 7th grade ..so funny.

it can be proved too easily

  Considering Pythagoras derived this around 550 BC. it's not bad. It's strange that this is what he is famous for considering all the other things he started...

- Pythagoras did not
  derive this theory.
  It was used long before he PROVED it.
