    There is a unique circle passing through the top and bottom of the painting and tangent to the eye-level line. By elementary geometry, if the viewer's position were to move along the circle, the angle subtended by the painting would remain constant.

  3. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    In 1893, Meissel stated what is now called the Pythagorean three-body problem: three masses in the ratio 3:4:5 are placed at rest at the vertices of a 3:4:5 right triangle, with the heaviest body at the right angle and the lightest at the smaller acute angle.

    Scalene may refer to: A scalene triangle, one in which all sides and angles are not the same. A scalene ellipsoid, one in which the lengths of all three semi-principal axes are different; Scalene muscles of the neck; Scalene tubercle, a slight ridge on the first rib prolonged internally into a tubercle

  6. Solution of triangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_of_triangles

    Solution of triangles (Latin: solutio triangulorum) is the main trigonometric problem of finding the characteristics of a triangle (angles and lengths of sides), when some of these are known. The triangle can be located on a plane or on a sphere. Applications requiring triangle solutions include geodesy, astronomy, construction, and navigation.

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  8. 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).

  9. Chirality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality_(mathematics)

    For that reason, a triangle is achiral if it is equilateral or isosceles, and is chiral if it is scalene. Consider the following pattern: This figure is chiral, as it is not identical to its mirror image: But if one prolongs the pattern in both directions to infinity, one receives an (unbounded) achiral figure which has no axis of symmetry.
