Now, I'm wondering if we have a thriving Desire Paths (that's what these paths are called) community somewhere on here.

Don't know but that sounds like a great idea of one. LOL

I said a thriving community. There hasn't been a post there in three months.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
I think this is more a case of the triangle inequality in metric spaces, as you don't have to calculate any particular edge to see the shortcut, as well as that it applies to any even non-rectangular triangle.
But if you want to know your saving, you will need to dust off the old formula. And if you do, you find the maximum saving to be around 41% (in the case of isosceles right triangle where the hypotenuse is a factor of sqrt 2 shorter).
That's true (y)
all the student needs to know is c<a+b, not the actual formula or theory behind it
c<=a+b🤓
This is actually a case of the Cauchy-Scwartz inequality: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy%E2%80%93Schwarz_inequality
