Geometry is used in carpentry because most houses are a combination of different shapes, rectangles and squares for walls and floors, ceilings and roof planes - triangles for roof structures. The pythagorean theorem is used both to figure the length of the different components (rafters, collar ties, etc.) of the roof structure and also to maintain square corners when laying out floors, walls, etc.
