[–] audiomodder@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 3 years ago (2 children) I know, shitpost and all, but this is possible in non-Euclidean geometry permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] fishos@kbin.social 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) A triangle with 90° angles, yes. But not a four sided TRIANGLE. That itself is a contradiction. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheDankHold@kbin.social 13 points 3 years ago (1 child) One of the angles is 180 though so imagine what the two sides joined there would look like. After all this isn’t to scale. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] fishos@kbin.social -9 points 3 years ago* (2 children) You can't make a 3 sided object with 4 sides. It's no longer a triangle and is a square. It's the definitions themselves. Non-euclidian geometry would allow the angles to equal more than 180°, but not to "add a side". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] simplecyphers@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) Mathematicians dont want to to know this one strange trick, hide a secret corner of 180 degrees in any triangle to instantly make it a quadrilateral, without even changing the shape!! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gerbler@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) Stop revealing my topology secrets! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] simplecyphers@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago I am ungovernable permalink fedilink source parent [–] W1Z_4RD@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) "Not to scale" . .

If you could bare to stretch your mind, and realize “not to scale” means “trust the numbers, not the graphic” you could in turn, realize that it is, in fact, 3 sided. Every side of every shape is made up of infinite 180 degree angles and 2 angles that are different. Every. Single. One. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mozzarellamommy@waveform.social 3 points 3 years ago* My school used to put a right angled triangle in the test and then say "not to scale" and then the angles would actually make it an isosceles or whatever. I agree with you that scale should keep proportions but yeah for some reason It's not common knowledge. permalink fedilink source parent [–] radix@lemm.ee 5 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) Why does it have to be non-Euclidean geometry? It seems like it would work fine as a regular (normal? Euclidean?) 30-30-60 triangle. Edit: I can't read. 30-60-90 triangle. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago 60 ノ༼ ຈل͜ຈノ ༽ here you dropped this permalink fedilink source parent

[–] mozzarellamommy@waveform.social 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) Sum of interior angles of a triangle should be 180° so this is not a triangle. It is a square or maybe 2 triangles permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lorgres@lemmy.world 9 points 3 years ago The 180° angle is just a (really weird) way of representing a long, straight, line. The rest of the angles add up to 180°. permalink fedilink source parent
