      A is drawn in such a way that it resembles a right angle, but it is not labeled as such. The length of the hypotenuse is given as zero. The opposite angle cannot be anything but 0°.

        The pythagoras theorem only holds if A is a right triangle

          What is depicted here isn’t even a polygon, let alone a triangle, let alone a right triangle. This is just a line segment. Line AB is the same as line AC. There is no line BC. BC is a single point.

          I suppose it could possibly depict a weird cross section of two orthogonal circles in a real and an imaginary plane.
