Yeah that is a good example.
I still cannot envision the triangle with two sides though.
Maybe a link to a picture or something.

I don't think it is possible to accurately draw one, because the sides are infinately close together.
Edit: @ Saurav - I never said 1.99 recurring was 2. I said it was equal to 2, which can be proven in the method i have shown.
that is true that you shouldnt believe everything you see on the internet.
But this is on the internet with tons of reasons why and there are other pages on the internet talking about the same thing.
If one internet page said that 1.999... = 2 then I wouldn't believe it. But with the reasons and other pages you can trust it.
Yeah I am still confused about this.
I cant find anything about it on google.
Yeah, I thought wording the title that way would lead to discussions and people talking about it. Then someone would show some ways why it is true and people would understand
It just turned out to be everyone telling me that it is wrong and no one would take the time to understand it.
So I posted the link showing why it is true but people still didn't believe it.
I wanted to hear other peoples views and watch them as they understand how it works.
Instead there are people claiming that it is totally wrong when there are pages written by people who are way better at math then anyone on this forum explaining how it is right.
If someone had a masters in mathematics and wanted to debate it then I would have no problem. I would actually enjoy watching what they say.
But the people who come on here and just go
1.9999999=1.9999999 not 2 duhhhh
annoy me because they are not even trying to understand it.
NO WAI
