  2. Missing square puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle

    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.

    The objective of the puzzle is to place triangles in some of the white cells. There are four kinds of triangles which can be put in squares: In the resulting grid, The white parts of the grid (uncovered by black triangles) must form a rectangle or a square, not sharing an edge with other white squares/rectangles.

  4. 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.

  5. Inscribed square in a triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_square_in_a_triangle

    It follows from this formula that, for any two inscribed squares in a triangle, the square that lies on the longer side of the triangle will have smaller area. [5] In an acute triangle, the three inscribed squares have side lengths that are all within a factor of 2 3 2 ≈ 0.94 {\displaystyle {\frac {2}{3}}{\sqrt {2}}\approx 0.94} of each other.

    Special cases are right triangles (p q 2). Uniform solutions are constructed by a single generator point with 7 positions within the fundamental triangle, the 3 corners, along the 3 edges, and the triangle interior. All vertices exist at the generator, or a reflected copy of it. Edges exist between a generator point and its image across a mirror.

  7. 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).

  8. Dividing a square into similar rectangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_square_into...

    The solution in which the three rectangles are all of different sizes and where they have aspect ratio ρ 2, where ρ is the plastic ratio. The fact that a rectangle of aspect ratio ρ 2 can be used for dissections of a square into similar rectangles is equivalent to an algebraic property of the number ρ 2 related to the Routh–Hurwitz ...

    Triangles have many types based on the length of the sides and the angles. A triangle whose sides are all the same length is an equilateral triangle, [3] a triangle with two sides having the same length is an isosceles triangle, [4] [a] and a triangle with three different-length sides is a scalene triangle.
