sqrt(2), obviously
"The combined area of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the area square on the hypotenuse."
In this case, the combined area is 2.

Hello, non-math person here, how can the length of a side of a triangle be complex?

length is never complex, that's the whole point. the length of the side labelled i is actually 1.

>> No.10887229

>>10887219
Oh I just realized the entire triangle is meant to represent a complex number and C is a modulus. That brings an interesting question, can we assume those factors just going by the picture? Surely it needs to be defined as complex space for the answer sqrt 2 to be valid?

>> No.10887268

>>10887193
the area of the square on the i leg is -1.

>> No.10887298

>>10887215
It can't be, length can't be complex. Kind of.
All real numbers belong to the set of complex numbers. All complex numbers have a real component. That length of i has a real component of 1, so its length is one.

Because length is by definition a real number. This is an ill-posed "problem" meant to trick retards that only plug shit into formulas without understanding them, aka (You).

>> No.10887973

>>10887102
Doesn't matter i or 1, because it's a triangle. triangles can only be flat. So it's just the absolute value of each side: sqrt(1^2+1^2) = sqrt(2) = ~1.4

>> No.10887996

>>10887229
>Surely it needs to be defined as complex space for the answer sqrt 2 to be valid?
It is already defined as a complex space by having imaginary numbers. The length i is actually 1, but expressed in i. The hypotenuse is sqrt2

>> No.10888003

it doesn't exist.

"i" is to geometry what a number divided by zero is to aritmethics

the second square's area is 1
the squares you have built are the actual square around the triangle, not the squares that are supposed to represent squaring

>> No.10889070

>>10887102

If you somehow extend the meaning of length to include nonreals, you'd have to come up with a new way of measuring linear distance between points. The pythagorean theorem is only defined for the euclidean plane.

whether the answer is [math]\sqrt{2}[/math] or 0 depends on your interpretation of the question. 0 IS a valid answer if you think of the complex argument as a rotation in [math]\mathbb{R}^{2}[/math], though there are a number of reasons why that isn't considered acceptable - one of which is displayed right here because it implies the triangle is actually a flat line, which is why the hypotenuse equals 0.
