minus-squarejerkface@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·edit-21 day agoDoesn’t this also imply that i == 1 because CB has zero length, forcing AC and AB to be coincident? That sounds like a disproving contradiction to me.
minus-squarexor@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·19 hours agoI think BAC is supposed to be defined as a right-angle, so that AB²+AC²=CB² => AB+1²=0² => AB = √-1 => AB = i
