Pythagorean theory only applies to RIGHT triangles.

The triangle in the original post is a right triangle.

hmm...

that was my original guess too. so is it an equilateral triangle? or is it isosceles?

There's no angles represented so it's hard to tell. stupid snail.

I concede to that one. I guess it has been about 8 years since I was geometry.

i still stand by my comment.

stupid snail.

Alright, someone please explain to me how there isn't a right angle in the triangle in the original post?

Seems as clear as day to me... Perspective and all?

Posted by Masonious on Jun-19-2007 22:51:

that looks like a right angle to me @.@

a 90 and two 45s

well the point of the exercise seems to be to demonstrate that appearances can be deceiving.

oh, and snails are stupid.

it cant be a right triangle if all the sides are the same length

why are you saying that all the sides are the same length? just because two are?

1. a right angle would be indicated by a square between the two sides
2. where the hell do you see a right angle? (ms paint please)

I guess that is the same thought here. Whenever something seemed easy, it was surely wrong.

Posted by RJT on Jun-19-2007 22:53:

Edit: Wait, wouldn't a square, divided in half diagonally, be a right triangle with equidistant sides?

They aren't too bright really.

Insufficient data. Needs angle information.

the ticks on the sides represent equal dimensions.
