If the distance between B and C is 0, B and C are the same points. If that is the case, the distances between A and B and A and C must be the same.
However, i ≠ 1.
If you want it to be real (hehe) the triangle should be like this:
C
| \
|i| | \ 0
| \
A---B
|1|
Drawing that on mobile was a pain.
As the other guy said, you cannot have imaginary distances.
Also, you can only use Pythagoras with triangles that have a 90° angle. Nothing in the meme says that there’s a 90° angle. As I see it, there are only 0° and 180° angles.
Isnt it fine to assume a 90° angle its just that when u square side AC ur multiplying by i which also represents a rotation by 90° so u now nolonger have a triangle?
This triangle is impossible.

Goodbye, I have to attend other memes to ruin.
Context matters. In geometry i is a perfectly cromulent name for a real valued variable.
Oh shit, he used the word cromulent. Every one copy off this guy.
That wouldn’t be cromulent, would it?
Mad mobile drawing!!
Incorrect. There are complex valued metric spaces
And even if we assume real valued metrics, then i usually represents the unit vector (0,1) which has distance real 1.
That’s NOT a metric. That’s a measure. Two wholly different things.
It can be a pseudometric

It’s not fine to assume a 90° angle. The distance between B and C is 0. Therefore the angle formed by AB and AC is 0°.
If the angle is 90°, then BC should be sqrt(2), not 0. Since the length of both sides is 1. sqrt(|i|2+|1|2) = sqrt(2).
So essentially what ur saying is. The imaginary and real arent 90° or pythagoras is only valid for real numbers?
