I thought those diamonds were placed at common stud/joist intervals for construction, and some searching doesn't find any connection to the Pythagorean theorem

I thought those diamonds were placed at common stud/joist intervals for construction, and some searching doesn't find any connection to the Pythagorean theorem. What did you mean?
- mywittyname 5y agoI'm not sure what the OP is getting at, because you're right, they indicate stud centers for 16" on-center. He might be talking about the 3-4-5 trick (pythagorean triples). But the only place I can think of where that is really useful (roofing) has other, better, tricks for figuring out lengths of hypotenuses.
