A Truly Crazy "Right" Triangle

"I'm not the same person, I'm a math teacher."
ABSOLUTE CINEMA

I'm glad I'm a sane person.

You cannot use an equals sign when it is an approximation. A math teacher should know that.

Brilliant 👏

Give up. 😁

How did you do this in desmos

Classic Parker Triangle

There are straightforward intelligent scalings to make this exact.

20 secs wasted

"What do you try to do with this" i just press x furiously to doubt it.

Fellow non-sane person, aka Math Teacher, here, and I also assumed this is where you were going.

I was panicking thinking that you were saying that this was ACTUALLY equal.

Most people I know say Dee y by Dee ex and Dee over Dee ex

“I’m not a sane person, I’m a math teacher” is a line I’m definitely saving😅😭

As a physicist, I checked it against the data.

Seems like this theory isn't quite correct to 5σ.

Not if you're an engineer. You can just estimate pi as 3 and e as either 2 or 3, right?

Prove it

I can live with approximations! Especially ones that are so precise as that one.

here the error is greater than the famous π approximation 355/113

So, your insane in a mathematical way?

Isn't 2.5 x 2.5 = 6.25... not sure where the 2.5 came from

Massive anticlimax

Thank you. I think modern math abuses equality too much

If you saw this what would you do?
Me: celebrate the fact that we finally solved that π and e are not algebraically independent. (Algebraically independent means numbers are not related by any algebraic equation like addition and multiplication)

Replace e^6 by e^7. Doesnn't e^7 equal (e^3.5)^2 ? But e^3.5 is longer than e^3.

Really?

Oh, yeah!

"What would you do?"

Not believing it in the first place.

Guess I must not be sane... I immediately threw it in desmos & messed around with it for a bit, just to find π⁴ + π⁵ ≠ e⁶

I mean, unless you multiply each side by 10⁴ & take the floor, ceiling, or round each side, would they equal each other; though I think I'm putting too much thought into this, but whatever.

It was too good to be true

I dont believe it LOL.

You are a fraud with that first sentence, and with the video thumbnail. I hate you.

Me? Grabbed my calculator and checked. Accurate to the fourth decimal place. My guess, since pi and e are irrational and would lead to an approximation, not an identity.

The relief when you said approximation.

(22/7)^(4) + (22/7)^(5) = 1 + (1/1!) + (1/2!) + (1/3!) + (1/4!) + ... AND you will discover [(1/1!) + (1/2!) + (1/3!) + (1/4!) + ... (1/6!)] = 21. You can find something related...🧐

Interesting! I thought it's an identity.

so the equal sign is mathematically wrong, but totally okay for Engineers :-D

5 does not =2.5^2, nor does 6=3^2! I understand the video still makes sense, but the fact you made a mistake as silly and inconceivable makes me glad you weren’t my high school teacher.

Clickbait bullshit

It's a pretty interesting approximation for such small exponents, anyway.

If I seen this I'm lookin at my teacher like: wtf do I do, you didn't teach me this💀

What would I do if I saw it? Just doubt.
