So triangles are real? What are they made of? Why should I believe the Pythagorean theorem if triangles don’t really exist?

Red herring.
Prove to me that triangles exist, or the idea of triangulating coordinates is a lie. How can you apply the Pythagoren theorem if triangles don't exist? Instead of posting irrelevant BS, prove the existence of triangles and I will shut up. The fact that you don't shows you can't, which is why you tell me to shut up and listen to the wise men.

If they don't exist, how is it that physicists can apply theorems about these non existent things in geometry to physical space and get consistent, even when unexpected, results? Why does trigonometry from ancient days long before physics, give consistent results even today? Why can Einstein work out the math of general relativity even a century before verification? Why does reality agree with ideas in our head, instead of disagreeing?
And if they do exist, they are not made of matter, energy or information, so how can they exist

Can we say the world exists in our minds and matches with our observations in reality?
