splendid as always.

hypoteneuse--»h
n--»number of triangles
i think If we know the hypoteneuse we can calculate the number of triangles we've drawed to get to the actual triangle... but i'm not shure... by the expression:
h=[root]n+1
Am I right?

@ShaneThompson94 my calculator shows that 12.64x12.64 (or 12.64(2)) = 159.7696...NOT 166

@chris3443 the first example implies no -right- triangle has two sides of length 1 and hypotenuse of length 2. I don't think the example itself proves the triangle inequality nor does the pyth thm

Amazing. I have to this for tonight. Its due tomorrow. :P

interessting...

"attractive spiral" haha nice
Does the first example imply that a triangle with two sides of 1 and hypoteneuse of 2 is an impossible shape in reality?

The triangle exists just as you see it. The implication is that not all numbers can be written as fractions or decimals. In fact, there are an infinite number of these numbers that cannot be written as fractions or decimals.
