    You can’t make a 3 sided object with 4 sides. It’s no longer a triangle and is a square. It’s the definitions themselves. Non-euclidian geometry would allow the angles to equal more than 180°, but not to “add a side”.

      “Not to scale”

      . .

      Incase that is still a mystery to you, that means that the drawing is visually inconsistent with the finished part. That 180 degree ‘corner’ is effectively a straight line, if drawn to scale.

      Mathematicians dont want to to know this one strange trick, hide a secret corner of 180 degrees in any triangle to instantly make it a quadrilateral, without even changing the shape!!
