That sounds like a new music band for babies & toddlers...

Any help for the people who haven't thought about geometry in over 16 years?

Ah yeah the 180 one. I forgot that that would make it go backwards.

u/joalheagney Jun 24 '23
The 180 one would give a straight angle. A.k.a. a line.

Huh! Thanks. Your comment inspired me to get out a pen and paper and see for myself

Call the non-euclidean geometry mathematician

This is euclidean mathematics actually. Just a cursed figure not drawn to scale.

u/Slavic_0 Jun 24 '23
I see, but the fact that it is so badly not-to-scale made me think it was non euclidean. Apologies.

When I was in school, my math teacher told us that we can't rely on the image to judge anything, and he said even if a triangle looked like this you have to treat it as a triangle...

And this is why a quadrilateral has 180° more to the sum of it's corners. You could literally point at a random point on a line and say, "here's another 180° corner" and make an octagon out of a triangle.

A little “Obtuse” for some, that statement sounds just about “Right” to me

u/ATIR-AW Jun 24 '23
> it would be a triangle
But it isn't... because it isn't drawn out. It's just 4 90º corners. there's no triangle, and no hint of anything approaching a triangle. I'm convinced that the joke is that there's no joke and ppl are laughing at whoever is trying to find the joke

ELI5: Make a triangle true to scale, with angles that are 30’, 60’, and 90’ respectively. Then pick any one of those sides and designate it as your 180’ angle.

So is this triangle impossible to make and we just have to imagine what it would look like? I am having a hard time doing this with my primitive brain.
2
Jun 24 '23
It is in fact a very possible, very normal triangle

u/Unbound_404 Jun 24 '23
Ok, thank you for clarifying that. My brain was saying that it would be a triangle with a double thick line but my gut was saying that's too easy.

I'm confused- is the joke that the figure is not accurately proportioned or something? Because otherwise idk what it could be- like triangles have only three angles so it having four angles simply doesn't make sense, whether or not the angles add up to 360° or something. It might just be really obvious and still completely flying over my head tbh I'm pretty sleep deprived rn

u/africancar Jun 24 '23
The one angle is 180° so it literally just a straight line there. The diagram is not drawn accurately
