baseball fun fact! the home plate is a mathematical impossibility, a living nightmare, a spit in the face of reason and sensibility

I AM SO FUCKING MAD ABOUT THIS. I SPENT OVER AN HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE WAS ANY WAY AT ALL FOR A BASEBALL HOME PLATE TO HAVE SIDE LENGTHS WHICH ARE INTEGERS.

COME TO DISCOVER (ONE HOUR LATER) THAT ISOSCELES RIGHT TRIANGLES WITH INTEGER SIDES CANNOT FUCKING EXIST

I AM SO MAD AT THIS

IMAGE ONE IS THE FIRST ATTEMPT AT FINDING A PROPER SIDE LENGTH

I CONTINUED AFTER THIS IN IMAGE 2, DESPERATELY PLUGGING NUMBERS INTO EQUATIONS UNTIL I FINALLY DECIDED TO GOOGLE IF IT WAS EVEN POSSIBLE

ITS NOT.

FUCK YOU BASEBALL
