We establish a relationship between the two important central lines of the triangle, the Euler line and the Brocard axis, in a configuration with an arbitrary rectangle and a random point. The classical Cartesian coordinate system method…

The intersection graph of a collection of trapezoids with corner points lying on two parallel lines is called a trapezoid graph. Using binary indexed tree data structure, we improve algorithms for calculating the size and the number of…

We first introduce a configuration of arbitrary isogonal conjugates related to a known property concerning the spiral center of two pairs of isogonal conjugates. We then consider a special case where two conics are tangent at exactly two…

The solution of Apollonius' problem on constructing a circle (line), tangent to three given circles (lines), is presented in terms of oriented circles and inversive invariants. Tangency is understood as the coincidence of tangent vectors at…

An n-simplex is said to be n-well-centered if its circumcenter lies in its interior. We introduce several other geometric conditions and an algebraic condition that can be used to determine whether a simplex is n-well-centered. These…

This article presents and compares four approaches for computing the rotation of a point about an axis by an angle in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We illustrate these methods by computing, by hand, the rotation of point $P=(1,0,1)^T$ about axis…

Here we examine some Erdos-Falconer-type problems in vector spaces over finite fields involving right angles. Our main goals are to show that a) a subset A of F_q^d of size >> q^[(d+2)/3] contains three points which generate a right angle,…

We prove that almost every triangle can be dissected only into $n^2$ triangles which have to be equal one another. Moreover, such a dissection is unique for every $n$. It turns out that to solve this "simple" problem it is convenient to use…

Scientific calculations involving multiplication, division, exponents, inverse exponents of real numbers, geometric mean, reciprocal, Euler number, logarithm, and antilogarithm are generally carried out using battery operated electronic…

An interesting problem that determine a triangle of smallest area which circumscribes a semicircle is solved. Then a generalized golden right triangles sequence $T_n$ is obtained, and an interesting construction of the maximum generalized…

Tight triangulations are exotic, but highly regular objects in combinatorial topology. A triangulation is tight if all its piecewise linear embeddings into a Euclidean space are as convex as allowed by the topology of the underlying…

By an $abc$ triple, we mean a triple $(a,b,c)$ of relatively prime positive integers $a,b,$ and $c$ such that $a+b=c$ and $\operatorname{rad}(abc)<c$, where $\operatorname{rad}(n)$ denotes the product of the distinct prime factors of $n$.…

The study of extremal problems on triangle areas was initiated in a series of papers by Erd\H{o}s and Purdy in the early 1970s. In this paper we present new results on such problems, concerning the number of triangles of the same area that…

Triangle centrality is introduced for finding important vertices in a graph based on the concentration of triangles surrounding each vertex. It has the distinct feature of allowing a vertex to be central if it is in many triangles or none…

Given any convex $n$-gon, in this article, we: (i) prove that its vertices can form at most $n^2/2 + \Theta(n\log n)$ isosceles trianges with two sides of unit length and show that this bound is optimal in the first order, (ii) conjecture…

We present a, hopefully, elementary mathematical treatment of the computational aspects of congruent numbers, such that an amateur could understand the problem and perform their own calculations.

In this paper we will do the following: (1) show how to geometrically define multiplication, using only basic plane geometry, independently of area and any notion of similar triangles; (2) prove all the properties of multiplication using…

We consider right prisms with horizontal quadrilateral bases and tops, and vertical rectangular sides. We look for examples where all the edges, face diagonals and space diagonals are integers. We find examples when the base is an isosceles…

In this paper, constructions of regular pentagon and decagon, and the calculation of the main trigonometric ratios of the corresponding central angles are approached. In this way, for didactic purposes, it is intended to show the reader…

We study a combinatorial problem that recently arose in the context of shape optimization: among all triangles with vertices $(0,0)$, $(x,0)$, and $(0,y)$ and fixed area, which one encloses the most lattice points from $\mathbb{Z}_{>0}^2$?…
