- Since B is the base of a triangle and H is its height, neither can be 1, and we needn't worry about division by zero. text
- Although C would be equal to 5 for continuous metric spaces, it is not 5 in the atomic case; C is 4 for the atomic case. Because the length of the side of the outer square formed by "adding" the lengths of the sides of the triangles is "shorter" (by 1) than it would be in continuous metrics, the size of the atomic inscribed square is smaller than its corresponding continuous analogue. text
