Compose a right triangle...
the X axis is of length pi
the Y-axis is of length e

Is the hypotenuse also transcendental?
Some people need to reimagine their thinking.

I don't think the answer to that question is known. It is not know if π + e is transcendental or not, or if π * e is transcendental . It is known that at least one is transcendental (but both may be).

A function of two different transcendental numbers may or may not be transcendental.
