  2. Moving sofa problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_sofa_problem

    A lower bound on the sofa constant can be proven by finding a specific shape of a high area and a path for moving it through the corner. A ≥ π / 2 ≈ 1.57 {\displaystyle A\geq \pi /2\approx 1.57} is an obvious lower bound.

  3. Right triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_triangle

    A right triangle ABC with its right angle at C, hypotenuse c, and legs a and b,. A right triangle or right-angled triangle, sometimes called an orthogonal triangle or rectangular triangle, is a triangle in which two sides are perpendicular, forming a right angle (1 ⁄ 4 turn or 90 degrees).

  4. Inscribed square problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_square_problem

    It is tempting to attempt to solve the inscribed square problem by proving that a special class of well-behaved curves always contains an inscribed square, and then to approximate an arbitrary curve by a sequence of well-behaved curves and infer that there still exists an inscribed square as a limit of squares inscribed in the curves of the sequence.

    Regular polygons; Description Figure Second moment of area Comment A filled regular (equiliteral) triangle with a side length of a = = [6] The result is valid for both a horizontal and a vertical axis through the centroid, and therefore is also valid for an axis with arbitrary direction that passes through the origin.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Calculator

    Atari Calculator (or Calculator) was a proprietary software program developed by Atari, Inc. for Atari 800 computers that incorporated the functionality of a scientific calculator into a software calculator. The source code was written in assembly language by American programmer and game designer Carol Shaw.

  7. Trigonometric tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_tables

    In mathematics, tables of trigonometric functions are useful in a number of areas. Before the existence of pocket calculators, trigonometric tables were essential for navigation, science and engineering. The calculation of mathematical tables was an important area of study, which led to the development of the first mechanical computing devices.

  8. Rectilinear polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectilinear_polygon

    Corollary: every maximal square/rectangle in P has at least two points, on two opposite edges, that intersect the boundary of P. A corner square is a maximal square s in a polygon P such that at least one corner of s overlaps a convex corner of P. For every convex corner, there is exactly one maximal (corner) square covering it, but a single ...

  9. Numerical integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_integration

    For a quadrature of a rectangle with the sides a and b it is necessary to construct a square with the side = (the Geometric mean of a and b). For this purpose it is possible to use the following fact: if we draw the circle with the sum of a and b as the diameter, then the height BH (from a point of their connection to crossing with a circle ...
