The Imaginary Triangle That Actually Works

The nerdiest right triangle you'll ever meet! This beauty showcases the Pythagorean theorem with a mathematical twist - instead of regular numbers, we've got the imaginary unit i (square root of -1) as one side, 1 as another, and 0 as the hypotenuse. The equation i² + 1² = 0² actually works because i² = -1, so -1 + 1 = 0. It's like the triangle exists in some bizarre mathematical dimension where geometry goes "Wait, that's illegal!" but math says "Hold my calculator!"
