I I think I will need a proof for the bold text to proceed on this topic.You guys ever think about this? Take a right triangle, and take any point on the hypotenuse, and then make another right triangle by drawing a line from the hypotenuse to one of the other sides. This will map to one point, and only one point on that side. Similarly, each point on that other side will map to one and only one point on the hypotenuse. But the hypotenuse is longer than the other sides.
That shit bugs me. It's a paradox staring you right in the face every time you look at a triangle.
