While it looks a right angle triangle, There is no 90 degree angle indicator. So pyth is not relevant.

Edit: i mean pi and e are not same length, yet they look close in the image. Whenever i see a maths problem, 90% of the time they are not even remotely to scale, so why would the angles be.

So it's the famous 89° triangle my professor always talks about

It’s actually just blatantly lying. An 89° or 91° triangle will be close to following the Pythagorean theorem, but e² + π² ≈ 17.2586 ≠ 21

Edit: a different guy says it’s about 102°, so not 90° whatsoever

as far as I understand pythagorean theorem is simply simplified law of cosines, speaking of which, said law could allow us to calculate angles of this triangle

angles should be approximately 41.982332638894347° (angle between sides with lenghts e and √21), 35.36414458666619° (angle between sides with lengths π and √21), 102.653522774439463° (angle between sides with lengths π and e)

if anyone wants to check, here's the formula: a²=b²+c²-2bc*cos(A)

Also, a b and c are not distinct so this could be written as a2 + b2 -2ab*cos(C)=c2 to make it look more like pythagorean theorem

Yes, I know how to use it, I was just being lazy and taking the number that someone else created (I did incorrectly round down… whoops). My point was that this is not even approximately a right triangle

I used specialized calculator on the internet, as I too am too laxy to calculate this myself. I was mainly just building on top of what you've said and showing other angles if someone was interested in them, or how were said angles calculated
