Triangles Definition and 215 Threads

In attempting to finish the sequence, I realized that the triangles in the inner hexagon is decolored in the direction of the arrow I drew for the given elements of the sequence. Any tips on how to think systematically about similar problems since I am required in the exam to complete like...

As a biochemist, I deal with chirality of molecules all the time. If you have a tetrahedral molecule, for example a carbon atom, and all 4 vertices are labeled differently, as in different atoms on each one, then that molecule has a mirror-symmetric one that cannot be superimposed on the...

If I have a triangle on a sphere with two of its angles 90 degrees each, do I conclude that it's isosceles and that the shortest distance (on the sphere) beteeen the base and the vertix of the thid angle is 1/4 the circumference of a great circle on the sphere? This is the picture I have in...

I don't want to post this in a math forum because it's very basic and I just want a straightforward answer, not something math heavy . What's the definition of angle in a cuved space embedded in a higher eucledian space? Like when I have a spherical surface in 3d eucledian space and want to work...

I have managed to get some of the required distances and angles. I have the distance ##a##, the velocity inside the mantle, the total radius of the Earth ##R_t## as well as mantle and core radii. I have also figured out the angle of incidence, however I cannot get the refracted angle with the...

There are 12 triangles (picture). We color each side of the triangle in red, green or blue. Among the $3^{24}$ possible colorings, how many have the property that every triangle has one edge of each color?

Hi! I need help with this exercise: A side of one equilateral triangle equals the height of a second equilateral triangle. Find the ratio of the perimeter of the larger triangle to that of the smaller. A "detailed solution" to be analysed by me then. Answer: \[ 2/3 sqrt3 \] Thanks

Hello, I am studying geometry with an app on my phone. There was a difficult problem, which had two different explanations for solving. I correctly understood one explanation. I reviewed later without memory of the problem at all. There was an obvious attempt from what was learned previously...

Hello, everybody: I am a philologist who is fond of mathematics, but who unfortunately has just an elementary high school knowledge of them. I am translating La leçon de Platon, by Dom Néroman (La Bégude de Mazenc, Arma Artis, 2002), which deals with music theory and mathematics in the works of...

Three positive real numbers $a,\,b$ and $c$ are such that $a^2+5b^2+4c^2-4ab-4bc=0$. Can $a,\,b$ and $c$ be the lengths of the sides of a triangle? Justify your answer.

Prove that two triangles with sides $a,\,b,\,c$ and $a_1,\,b_1,\,c_1$ are similar if and only if $\sqrt{aa_1}+\sqrt{bb_1}+\sqrt{cc_1}=\sqrt{(a+b+c)(a_1+b_1+c_1)}$.

How many triangles can be made given the following dots? Thanks a lot!

It is pretty obvious that all right-angled triangles whose sides are integers will have areas which are also integers. Since either the base or height will be an even number, half base x height will always come out exactly. However, I have only found one non-right-angled triangle where this is...

If it we know 3 sides of a right angle triangle, will it be possible to calculate the angles without using trig. Functions

Hey! :o We have a rectangle inside a semicircle with radius $1$ : From the midpoint of the one side we draw a line to the opposite vertices and one line to the opposite edge. Are the acute angles of the right triangles all equal to $45^{\circ}$ ? (Wondering) All four triangles are...

Please forgive me...I am not a mathematician, but I have a couple questions that have been puzzling me. In theory, can a circle be so large that connecting 3 points on that circle result in a degenerate triangle? If the length of a straight line drawn between two points on a circle is Planck...

In deciding which shape of ring I should use to secure an anchor to an anchor trolley I came across two choices, a circular ring or a triangular ring. While either will surely work, I began to wonder which would be more difficult to pull apart. Most of the information I found is about forces...

I used to think it was called Zeno's tower, but then realized I probably called it that because it reminded me of his paradox. I have been unable to find this shape on the internet, although I saw a small steel tower outside Stonybrook using this geometry. I have attached an image of the basic...

Hi there! I haven't yet taken a trigonometry course (I'm in High-school), but I have an amateur interest in surveying. Recently I began thinking about how I could calculate the height of a point relative to me, or the distance of the object from me. Naturally, I immediately thought of the...
