Let ABC be a triangle with a,b,and c being its three sidelengths. In a 1976 article by Wynne William Wilson in the Mathematical Gazette(see reference[2]), the author showed that angleB is twice angleA, if and only if b^2=a(a+c). We offer…

It is conjectured that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a decomposition into positive volume ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra (a "geometric" triangulation of the manifold). Under a mild homology assumption on the manifold we construct…

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…

Polyhedra are generically rigid, but can be made to flex under certain symmetry conditions. We generalise Raoul Bricard's 1897 method for making flexible octahedra to construct an infinite family of flexible polyhedra with…

In this paper we prove the transcendence of $\pi$ using Hilbert's method. We also prove that all points constructible with compass and straightedge have algebraic coordinates. Thus we give a self-contained proof that squaring the circle is…

In 1840 Jacob Steiner on Christian Rudolf's request proved that a triangle with two equal bisectors is isosceles. But what about changing the bisectors to cevians? Cevian is any line segment in a triangle with one endpoint on a vertex of…

The {\it largest angle bisection} procedure is the operation which partitions a given triangle, $T$, into two smaller triangles by constructing the angle bisector of the largest angle of $T$. Applying the procedure to each of these two…

We give a trigonometric proof of the Steiner-Lehmus Theorem in hyperbolic geometry. Precisely we show that if two internal bisectors of a triangle on the hyperbolic plane are equal, then the triangle is isosceles.

The paper is devoted to the description of family of scalene triangles for which the triangle formed by the intersection points of bisectors with opposite sides is isosceles. We call them Sharygin triangles. It turns out that they are…

In this short note, we construct some nontrivial examples of topological biquandle. The key ingredient of the construction is the notion of skew brace.

In this work, we prove that any triangle whose three sidelengths are integers, cannot have all of its three medians also having integral lengths.This is done in Proposition 2.In Section 5, we give precise(i.e.necessary and…

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…

We show that there are no edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent pentagons beyond the minimal dodecahedron tiling, such that there is a tile with all vertices having degree 3 and the edge length combinations are three of the five…

We suggest a method of solving the problem of existence of a triangle with prescribed two bisectors and one third element which can be taken as one of the angles, the sides, the heights or the medians, or the third bisector.

An N-tiling of triangle ABC by triangle T is a way of writing ABC as a union of N triangles congruent to T, overlapping only at their boundaries. The triangle T is the "tile". The tile may or may not be similar to ABC. In this paper we…

By a simple method we prove the following conjecture on Sharygin triangles: there is only one Sharygin triangle (up to an isometry) whose vertices are chosen from the set of vertices of a regular polygon inscribed in a circle of radius 1.
