So, if I make a sandwich, I slice it across the bread and make two rectangles. Except if it’s a grilled cheese sandwich, I slice those on the diagonal.
I have no idea why.

Cutting on the diagonal increases the perimeter of the eating surface more than cutting into rectangles.
I have an elegant proof of this, but the margins are too small for me to show it here.

I do this too, most likely because it allows for better dipping into a cup of tomato soup.

Now there is a good task for ChatGPT. Prove something that is provable but has probably never been proved previously. Or at least not posted anywhere that it would have been able to already see it.
That’s as gouda explanation as any.

Square has another definition that would fit - "at right angles, perpendicular’
So is that e^5 or is that E(X) = 5?

X ~ Exp(5) == X is exponentially distributed with E = 5.
Not familiar with that notation style. Til
Sure, but that definition doesn’t fit with the usage when they are comparing we a triangle.
so would that be a plum(b) sandwich?
