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

we shall see, i've got an idea of what i want to post, but you'll just have to see if it's what i actually end up posting, but if it's what i'm thinking ot then yeah there'lll be a hand, my hand

Px said...

i'm always thinking smart things, so you'd better get your ass over her and sit it on me

Px said...

i think there is probably a more technical term for it, but i thought seeing as you were trying to dumb me down that i'd try it out

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.

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

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

put up ur protractor..*snort*

Px said...

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

PP dearest...a pyramid is not a 3D triangle...you've got to learn to read other posts lol

Princess Pessimism said...

PX just yelled at me....I'm deleteing my comment

Princess Pessimism said...

Okay he didnt yell, but he made me feel very bad about myself and stupid. So for that reason, i delted my comment.

Px said...

sorry PP
and you know how i feel about people deleting comments

Princess Pessimism said...

YA, i do...you deleted about 20 of them on your other post....you must not be too objected to it. LOL

Px said...

Lindsey said...
