Square root of 5 one, when traversing the cube "surface" (the shortest distance when traversing through the "inside" of the cube corresponds to the length of the cube diagonal, which is the square root of three times the edge). The number can be algebraically and geometrically related to and , as it is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with catheti measuring and (again, the Pythagorean theorem proves this). Right triangles of such proportions can be found inside a cube: the sides of any triangle defined by the centre point of a cube, one of its vertices, and the middle point
Square root of 3 1. On the complex plane, this distance is expressed as mentioned below. It is the length of the space diagonal of a unit cube. The vesica piscis has a major axis to minor axis ratio equal to 1:, this can be shown by constructing two equilateral triangles within it. Multiplication of by the imaginary unit gives a square root of -3, an imaginary number. More exactly, (see square root of negative numbers). It is an Eisenstein integer. Namely, it is expressed as the difference between two non-real cubic roots of 1 (which are Eisenstein integers). In power engineering, the voltage
