Lets take a small break from Leaving Cert Higher Level Maths for a moment to have a look at this interesting situation. What happens if we join the point (0,1) to (i,0) on the complex plane? It looks like we get a right angle triangle, but when we solve for the hypothenuse we get zero! What is going on here??? Let us know what you think in the comments!
