This right triangle is the stuff of mathematical nightmares! Not only does it have an angle labeled with i (the imaginary unit), but if you actually calculate that square root expression, it simplifies to e2 - 1. Plug that into the Pythagorean theorem and you'll find this triangle breaks reality itself. It's basically the geometric equivalent of dividing by zero while Mercury is in retrograde. Math professors probably keep this locked in a vault labeled "DO NOT SHOW TO UNDERGRADS."
