this is how sad i am...
i read on a random blog the other day something that i disagree with and i was going to leave a comment on said blog, but i didn't want to make a fool of myself for getting what i thought was right, wrong...but i've thought about it more and more, not to the point where it's kept me awake at night, but i've given it some thought
the comment was about never being able to get a triangle with 3 right angles in it, now this i agreed with initially, but then i thought about it more and i realised that whoever it was that made the statement was wrong
you can get a triangle with 3 right angles...just not in the normal 2 dimensions, you have to think in 3 dimensions for this....ready...here's the science bit
think of the globe...think of the equator, this is our base line for our triangle, now you need to take 2 line of longitude which meet at either the north or south pole, at which one they meet is fairly irrelevent as long as where they meet, they meet at a right angle...therefore you have 3 right angles in a triangle
got it?
see this is what i do all day when i'm left to my own devices
anyway
enough

  7. I hate to burst your bubble, but your "triangle theorem" is impossible. A triangle is a two dimensional shape, and cannot exist in more or less than two dimensions.

    To exist in three dimensions, you'd need some kind of triangular enhancer. But those are banned but several international treaties.

  8. wouldn't a triangle in 3D be called a pyramid..

    sorry.. my inner gweek (dweeb/geek) is ready for a geometrey fite.

  9. ooh...i've started something now have i
    ok

    PP...no it didn't keep me awake all night, but the bear did

    Linny...if you mean find me a woman, i'm open to option

    Gy...a triangle is a triangle, it doesn't have to be in flat to be in 2 dimensions, if the triangle is on the surface of a globe it is still a triangle, i never put it into 3 dimensions, i kept it in 2, just over a curve

    Fu...bring it on, i've got my set square ready to whoop your ass with
    and a pyramid isn't a 3-d triangle a pyramid is a solid figure with a polygonal base and triangluar faces that meet at a common point. the triangle i'm referring to is still only in 2-d
