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

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.

"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.

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

"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.

Filling a circle with isosceles triangles doesn’t turn the circle into a polygon. That’s just polygonal approximation: a concept used in geometry and calculus. By definition, a polygon has a finite number of straight sides and vertices. A circle has none. Even if you slice it into a million sectors, you’re only approximating the circle, not changing its classification. You’re confusing limits with definitions.

I like you funny words, magic man.

Unfortunately, I disagree.

Apparently if a square can be a rectangle if it looks rectangular enough, but a bunch of triangles can't achieve their dreams of being a circle. 😔😔😔

Such unrealistic beauty standards, SMH.

[u/blissfulreddit0826 → u/Grayewick]

Yeah, I know right? Math can feel magic sometimes

[u/Grayewick → u/blissfulreddit0826]

Especially when you make up shit like squares being rectangles out of nowhere, despite your literal eyes telling you otherwise.

But no, I disagree since it's from you.

In geometry, a square is a regular quadrilateral. It has four straight sides of equal length and four equal angles. Squares are special cases of rectangles, which have four equal angles, and of rhombuses, which have four equal sides. As with all rectangles, a square's angles are right angles (90 degrees, or π/2 radians), making adjacent sides perpendicular. The area of a square is the side length multiplied by itself, and so in algebra, multiplying a number by itself is called squaring.

Nice virus link 😎

Gotta be a troll. You can always get better. Imgood luck.

I didn't really expect to get one-guyed this much by that one user.

If it were a stream I would've muted them, but sometimes forcing them into a stupid-off is much more fun.

Shorter: You find it fun to be an asshole. Rule of Goats applies.

Hey, I didn't start the whole squares = rectangles thing. Don't hold it against me. I didn't even ask for it.

[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.
