Is a circle a polygon? WHILE CIRCLE HAS INFINITE SIDES.

Yes. Because I can see that your mathematical evidence, and the evidence provided by other people, proves it.
No. Because I looked at all the mathematical proof and have determined that in no plausible way is a circle a polygon.

There is no decimal value for those fractions, those are rounded.

1/3 = 0.(3)


1/3 = 0.(3)
1/3 + 1/3 = 0.(6)
0.(6) + 1/3 = 0.(9)

1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = (0.(3)) * 3 = 2/3 + 1/3 = 0.(9) = 3/3 = 1

You're wrong.

This actually makes it all make sense.

However you must admit, it is a paradox.


I give up you're a moron.
You'd make a terrible philosopher.

"I'll believe what people tell me and not decide to ponder whether or not something is actually possible."

1/3 = 0.(3)
1/3 + 1/3 = 0.(6)
0.(6) + 1/3 = 0.(9)

1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = (0.(3)) * 3 = 2/3 + 1/3 = 0.(9) = 3/3 = 1

You're wrong.

see now, stocking deary, this is how you shut us up next time. not calling poor plague a moron  :panda:


Actually, no.

yes

1/3 is 0.3 repeating
2/3 is 0.6 repeating

if not, explain what they are?

This actually makes it all make sense.

It certainly is a difficult concept, that's why there's so many articles about it.

Part one, how can they be separate if they are the same.

Also, your second part is lol.

You basically say that after infinity 9's you must reach a decimal, implying that there is a point beyond infinity, which would imply that there is a number in between 0.(9) and 1.

And yes, the point of my argument was to show that everything equals infinity if you round it up at the ininityth point.
Actually, no.

I'm out of here, if you really think that 1.(2) is equal to infinity and that 1/3 is not 0.(3) then there's not point in arguing with you.

1/3 = 0.(3)

2/3 = 0.(6)

1 = 3/3 = 0.(9) = マホ~

Thank you Iban, also let nothing but love flow forth from this post on.

yes

1/3 is 0.3 repeating
2/3 is 0.6 repeating

1/3 is 1/3, it cannot be converted into decimal format.

2/3 = 0.(6)

1 = 3/3 = 0.(9) = マホ~

Thank you Iban, also let nothing but love flow forth from this post on.

no, .9 repeating does not equal 1. it just gets infinitely close. there's a reason any good math teacher will tell you decimals are not always exact, and that you should use fractions.

1/3 is 1/3, it cannot be converted into decimal format.
which is why graphing calculators always turn it into .3333333333 by default

But while B is A, A is B, they both exist as separate entities but with the same value.
So then, what would 1 minus 0.99 repeating be? It would have to be something, or else there would be no point in saying 0.99 repeating

So then, what would 1 minus 0.99 repeating be? It would have to be something, or else there would be no point in saying 0.99 repeating

YES, TINGALZ
BURN THEM WITH YOUR STINGING LOGIC

So then, what would 1 minus 0.99 repeating be? It would have to be something, or else there would be no point in saying 0.99 repeating
it would be 0.(0)1

Infinite zeros. Is that even worth calling anything but 0?
