minus-squareJerkface (any/all)linkfedilinkEnglish13•edit-22 months agoDoesn’t this also imply that i == 1 because CB has zero length, forcing AC and AB to be coincident? That sounds like a disproving contradiction to me.
minus-squarexorlinkfedilinkEnglish6•2 months agoI think BAC is supposed to be defined as a right-angle, so that AB²+AC²=CB² => AB+1²=0² => AB = √-1 => AB = i
minus-squareJerkface (any/all)linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoI mean, I see that’s how they would have had to get to i, but it’s not a right triangle.
