The bygones principle does not always accord with real-world behavior. Sunk costs often influence people's decisions, [7] [14] with people believing that investments (i.e., sunk costs) justify further expenditures. [16] People demonstrate "a greater tendency to continue an endeavor once an investment in money, effort, or time has been made".
Obtuse case. Figure 7b cuts a hexagon in two different ways into smaller pieces, yielding a proof of the law of cosines in the case that the angle γ is obtuse. We have in pink, the areas a 2, b 2, and −2ab cos γ on the left and c 2 on the right; in blue, the triangle ABC twice, on the left, as well as on the right.
An acute triangle (or acute-angled triangle) is a triangle with three acute angles (less than 90°). An obtuse triangle (or obtuse-angled triangle) is a triangle with one obtuse angle (greater than 90°) and two acute angles. Since a triangle's angles must sum to 180° in Euclidean geometry, no Euclidean triangle can have more than one obtuse ...

Since no triangle can have two obtuse angles, γ is an acute angle and the solution γ = arcsin D is unique. If b < c, the angle γ may be acute: γ = arcsin D or obtuse: γ ′ = 180° − γ. The figure on right shows the point C, the side b and the angle γ as the first solution, and the point C ′, side b ′ and the angle γ ′ as the ...
A costly signal in which the cost of an action is incurred upfront ("ex ante") is a sunk cost. An example of this would be the mobilization of an army as this sends a clear signal of intentions and the costs are incurred immediately. When the cost of the action is incurred after the decision is made ("ex post") it is considered to be tying hands.
No sunk costs; The same level of technology is available to incumbent businesses and new entrants. A perfectly contestable market is not possible in real life. Instead, the degree of contestability can be observed within markets. [example needed] The more contestable a market is, the closer it will be to a perfectly contestable market.
