A perfect triangle is a triangle with rational sides, medians, and area. In this article, we use a similar strategy due to Pocklington to show that if $\Delta$ is a perfect triangle, then it cannot be an isosceles triangle. It gives a…

We study the dissection of a square into congruent convex polygons. Yuan \emph{et al.} [Dissecting the square into five congruent parts, Discrete Math. \textbf{339} (2016) 288-298] asked whether, if the number of tiles is a prime number…

We consider the problem of partitioning a two-dimensional flat torus $T^2$ into $m$ sets in order to minimize the maximal diameter of a part. For $m \leqslant 25$ we give numerical estimates for the maximal diameter $d_m(T^2)$ at which the…

We consider tilings of a triangle $ABC$ by congruent copies of a triangle that has one angle equal to $120^\circ$, has non-commensurable angles (that is, not all angles are rational multiples of $\pi$), and is not similar to $ABC$. We prove…

In mathematics, a dissection of a square (or rectangle) into non-congruent rectangles is a Mondrian partition. If all the rectangles have the same area, it is called a perfect Mondrian partition. In this paper, we present a computational…

We have computed a table of the triangle sides of all congruent numbers less than 10,000, which improves and extends the existing public table. We give some background on properties of the triangle sides, and explain how we computed our…

We give a formula for counting the triangles in a picture consisting of the three sides of a triangle and some cevians. This lets us prove statements that are claimed without proof in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences and some…

P. J. Federico used the term low-order for perfect squared squares with at most 28 squares in their dissection. In 2010 low-order compound perfect squared squares (CPSSs) were completely enumerated. Up to symmetries of the square and its…

We consider the distances between a line and a set of points in the plane defined by the L^p-norms of the vector consisting of the euclidian distance between the single points and the line. We determine lines with minimal geometric…

Consider triangulations of $\mathbb R P^2$ whose all vertices have valency six except three vertices of valency $4$. In this chapter we prove that the number $f(n)$ of such triangulations with no more than $n$ triangles grows as $C\cdot…

We compute the number of triangulations of a convex $k$-gon each of whose sides is subdivided by $r-1$ points. We find explicit formulas and generating functions, and we determine the asymptotic behaviour of these numbers as $k$ and/or $r$…

We study side-lengths of triangles in path metric spaces. We prove that unless such a space X is bounded, or quasi-isometric to line or half-line, every triple of real numbers satisfying the strict triangle inequalities, is realized by the…

It is well known that a triangle with side lengths 3, 4 and 5 is right-angled. Euclid was the first to give a formula for generating other right-angled triangles with integer side lengths. In this text, I present a novel algorithm to…

Motivated by a question of R.\ Nandakumar, we show that the Euclidean plane can be dissected into mutually incongruent convex quadrangles of the same area and the same perimeter. As a byproduct we obtain vertex-to-vertex dissections of the…
