An $N$-tiling of triangle $ABC$ by triangle $T$ (the `tile') is a way of writing $ABC$ as a union of $N$ copies of $T$ overlapping only at their boundaries. Let the tile $T$ have angles $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$, and sides $(a,b,c)$. This…

Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle. For certain triangles $T$ (the "tile") and certain $N$, it is possible to cut $ABC$ into $N$ copies of $T$. It is known that only certain shapes of $T$ are possible, but until now very little was known…

We say that a triangle $T$ tiles a polygon $A$, if $A$ can be dissected into finitely many nonoverlapping triangles similar to $T$. We show that if $N>42$, then there are at most three nonsimilar triangles $T$ such that the angles of $T$…

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…

Motivated by a question of Erd\"{o}s and inquiries by Beeson and Laczkovich, we explore the possible $N$ for which a triangle $T$ can tile into $N$ congruent copies of a triangle $R$. The \emph{reptile} cases (where $T$ is similar to $R$)…

A tiling is a decomposition of a polygon into finitely many non-overlapping triangles. We prove that if a regular n-gon, $n \geq 5$, $n \neq 28$, can be tiled with similar right triangles, then one of the angles of these triangles is in…

We develop the basic and new tools for classifying non-side-to-side tilings of the sphere by congruent triangles. Then we prove that, if the triangle has any irrational angle in degree, such tilings are: a sequence of 1-parameter families…

The edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals of Type $a^2bc$ are classified as $3$ classes: a sequence of two-parameter families of $2$-layer earth map tilings with $2n$ $(n\ge3)$ tiles, a one-parameter family of…

This article examines the tilings of a strip with equilateral triangles. The number of ways in which the lattices can be covered with a combination of tiles of the two types of triangles is related to Pell's numbers. Additionally, the…

Let $\cal T$ be a tiling of the plane with equilateral triangles no two of which share a side. We prove that if the side lengths of the triangles are bounded from below by a positive constant, then $\cal T$ is periodic and it consists of…
