MaddenL3,

Take three equal line segments making an equilateral triangle with 60^o angles. Then the distance from the apex to the base of this triangle is one half the square root of three. Which by your reasoning (sic) doesn't exist because it's irrational.

Therefore this triangle doesn't exist, therefore either line segments or 60^o angles don't exist, and there goes your theory.

Regards,
Dick
