60° rhombus (2 triangles) (Blue) that can be matched with two of the green triangles; 30° Narrow rhombus (Beige) with the same side-length as the green triangle; Trapezoid (half hexagon or 3 triangles) (Red) that can be matched with three of the green triangles; Regular Hexagon (6 triangles) (Yellow) that can be matched with six of the green ...
The apparent triangles formed from the figures are 13 units wide and 5 units tall, so it appears that the area should be S = 13×5 / 2 = 32.5 units. However, the blue triangle has a ratio of 5:2 (=2.5), while the red triangle has the ratio 8:3 (≈2.667), so the apparent combined hypotenuse in each figure is actually bent.
An American-style 15×15 crossword grid layout. A crossword (or crossword puzzle) is a word game consisting of a grid of black and white squares, into which solvers enter words or phrases ("entries") crossing each other horizontally ("across") and vertically ("down") according to a set of clues. Each white square is typically filled with one ...
A full specification sheet listing the paper's requirements for crossword puzzle submission can be found online or by writing to the paper. The Monday–Thursday, and usually Sunday, puzzles have a theme. This is often some sort of connection between at least three long across answers, such as similar types of puns, added letters, or hidden ...
This list of triangle topics includes things related to the geometric shape, either abstractly, as in idealizations studied by geometers, or in triangular arrays such as Pascal's triangle or triangular matrices, or concretely in physical space. It does not include metaphors like love triangle in which the word has no reference to the geometric ...
It can be shown that two triangles having congruent angles (equiangular triangles) are similar, that is, the corresponding sides can be proved to be proportional. This is known as the AAA similarity theorem. [2] Note that the "AAA" is a mnemonic: each one of the three A's refers to an "angle".
A level-5 approximation to a Sierpiński triangle obtained by shading the first 2 5 (32) levels of a Pascal's triangle white if the binomial coefficient is even and black otherwise If one takes Pascal's triangle with 2 n {\displaystyle 2^{n}} rows and colors the even numbers white, and the odd numbers black, the result is an approximation to ...
