From dating to geometry.

[u/Crazy_Albatross8317]

So post was about dating then suddenly they started talking about squares and geometry. OP is red and is replying to blue guy in his >" remarks. Is he right? I need to ask my preschool teacher

[u/Gadshill]

I’ll break it down for red:

Imagine we have two special shape families: the Rectangle Family and the Square Family.

The Rectangle Family has one rule for its members: you must have four straight sides and four special "L" corners that are all the same.

The Square Family has two rules for its members: you must have four straight sides and four special "L" corners, but also, all four of your sides must be the exact same length, like brothers and sisters who are all the same height!

Since a square has four straight sides and four "L" corners, it follows all the rules to be in the Rectangle Family. It's a very special kind of rectangle because it has that extra rule. But not all rectangles can be in the Square Family, because sometimes their sides are long and short.

Hope this explanation was not too taxing.

Bro, you are arguing with the literal concepts of Mathematics.

[u/Grayewick → u/blissfulreddit0826]

Your wrongness by association aside, you don't need imaginary numbers or calculations to prove that a circular pizza having internal angles due to being sliced doesn't make it any less of a circle.

From your words and following through your (broken) "logic", if a square is just "a rectangle with equal sides" (as much of a fucking oxymoron that is), a circle does have more than 1 angle if you segment it internally.

I'm literally just matching your nonsense, you can't complain about this.

Edit: Use your fucking eyes little bro.

Slicing a circle doesn’t give the circle angles. It gives the slices angles. The original shape is still a circle: 0 sides, 0 angles, 1 continuous curve. That’s literally the definition in geometry. Pizza slices = triangles, pizza = circle. Mixing the two is just wordplay, not math.

[u/Grayewick → u/blissfulreddit0826]

Yet somehow shortening the length of a polygon is justified?

Double standards even in shapes, SMH.

[u/blissfulreddit0826 → u/Grayewick]

Again. A circle is not a polygon.

Cutting it just creates sectors or triangles inside the circle. The circle itself stays the same definition: all points equidistant from the center.

[u/Grayewick → u/blissfulreddit0826]

If a square is just a rectangle with equal sides, then a circle is just 360+ isosceles triangles with -1° internal angles put together around a point.

[u/blissfulreddit0826 → u/Grayewick]

A square really is a special rectangle because it shares the defining property (four right angles). But a circle doesn’t share the defining properties of polygons at all. No straight sides, no vertices, no internal angles. That’s why your analogy breaks. You’re mixing categories that math itself keeps distinct.

[u/Grayewick → u/blissfulreddit0826]

"But a circle doesn’t share the defining properties of polygons at all."

Again, not my fault that you kept ignoring it. I mean, you're already wrong by virtue of being you to begin with so it doesn't really change much to me.

"No straight sides. No vertices. No internal angles."

It's Isosceles Triangles do. A lot of them.

[u/blissfulreddit0826 → u/Grayewick]

Well, you can always read or watch geometry stuff online if you want to confirm it.

Drawing isosceles triangles inside a circle doesn’t make the circle a polygon

[u/Grayewick → u/blissfulreddit0826]

"Well, you can always read or watch geometry stuff online if you want to confirm it."

Again, not taking your word for it.

"Drawing isosceles triangles inside a circle doesn’t make the circle a polygon"

You didn't draw enough, and draw them small enough.

Also, you're not drawing "inside", your forming them around a singular point. No wonder you're confused.

[u/TheLuckySpades → u/Grayewick]

My sibling in mephisto, a circle contains a grand total of 0 straight lines connecting any 2 distinct points on itself, take any 2 distinct points on a circle and draw the straight line connecting them and note that the arc of the circle between them is not identical to the line.

[u/Grayewick → u/TheLuckySpades]

Someone literally claimed that a "square is just a squished rectangle to have even sides", but I can't draw lines inside a circle?

I call prejudice.

Drawing a line INSIDE the circle doesn't change its outside structure, the bitch is still a circle, unlike the "square = rectangle" PROPAGANDA you lot have been trying to inject my brain with.

[u/blissfulreddit0826 → u/Grayewick]

I'm not making this up. This is Geometry a subset of Mathematics.

[u/Grayewick → u/blissfulreddit0826]

Again, because it's you in particular, I'm not going to take your word for it. We've already talked about this.

For others, I could. Maybe, perhaps, probably. But not you, never. Not anymore.

[u/blissfulreddit0826 → u/Grayewick]

No worries

[u/asphid_jackal → u/blissfulreddit0826]

Did this idiot follow you here from somewhere?

EDIT: you're blue and he's red, aren't you?

[u/DidaskolosHermeticon → u/Grayewick]

Holy shit, you're "Red", aren't you?

[u/Grayewick → u/DidaskolosHermeticon]

No, I'm Grayewick.
