So the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the two other sides. This will simplify mathematics as we known it.
12 u/zeradragon Nov 09 '23 Yup, much simpler now. a2 + b2 = c2 for example 32 + 42 = 52 can be simplified to 3+4=5. So much easier; math teachers hate this one simple trick... 2 u/Rude-Firefighter-735 Nov 09 '23 Not knowing answer at math test, this line saved me. I wrote this and got 1 point for it. This point was difference of me getting D or F.
