Isnt it fine to assume a 90° angle its just that when u square side AC ur multiplying by i which also represents a rotation by 90° so u now nolonger have a triangle?

It's not fine to assume a 90° angle. The distance between B and C is 0. Therefore the angle formed by AB and AC is 0°.

If the angle is 90°, then BC should be sqrt(2), not 0. Since the length of both sides is 1. sqrt(|i|^2+|1|^2) = sqrt(2).

So essentially what ur saying is. The imaginary and real arent 90° or pythagoras is only valid for real numbers?
