  2. 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 ...

  3. Plastic ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_ratio

    There are precisely three ways of partitioning a square into three similar rectangles: [14] [15] The trivial solution given by three congruent rectangles with aspect ratio 3:1. The solution in which two of the three rectangles are congruent and the third one has twice the side lengths of the other two, where the rectangles have aspect ratio 3:2.

  4. 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.

  5. Delaunay triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaunay_triangulation

    In computational geometry, a Delaunay triangulation or Delone triangulation of a set of points in the plane subdivides their convex hull [1] into triangles whose circumcircles do not contain any of the points. This maximizes the size of the smallest angle in any of the triangles, and tends to avoid sliver triangles.

  6. Golden rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rectangle

    A whirl of golden rectangles. Divide a square into four congruent right triangles with legs in ratio 1 : 2 and arrange these in the shape of a golden rectangle, enclosing a similar rectangle that is scaled by factor ⁠ ⁠ and rotated about the centre by ⁠ ⁡ ().

  7. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    Packing identical rectangles in a rectangle: The problem of packing multiple instances of a single rectangle of size (l,w), allowing for 90° rotation, in a bigger rectangle of size (L,W) has some applications such as loading of boxes on pallets and, specifically, woodpulp stowage. For example, it is possible to pack 147 rectangles of size (137 ...

  8. Triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

    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. [7]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_uniform_tilings...

    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.
