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…
In this paper, we demonstrate the intimate relationships among some geometric figures and the families of elliptic curves with positive ranks. These geometric figures include \textit{\textbf{Heron triangles}}, \textit{\textbf{Brahmagupta…
We prove that the least-perimeter partition of the sphere into four regions of equal area is a tetrahedral partition.
Given a triangle, what is the equation of the line which bisects its area and has a given slope? The set of all lines bisecting the area of a triangle has been elegantly determined as a certain 'deltoid' envelope and this gives an indirect…
This research explores the sum of divisors - $\sigma(n)$ - and the abundancy index given by the function $\frac{\sigma(n)}{n}$. We give a generalization of amicable pairs - feebly amicable pairs (also known as harmonious pairs), that is…
If a line cuts randomly two sides of a triangle, the length of the segment determined by the points of intersection is also random. The object of this study, applied to a particular case, is to calculate the probability that the length of…
The formula for the area of a rhumb polygon, a polygon whose edges are rhumb lines on an ellipsoid of revolution, is derived and a method is given for computing the area accurately. This paper also points out that standard methods for…
Any permutation-invariant function of data points $\vec{r}_i$ can be written in the form $\rho(\sum_i\phi(\vec{r}_i))$ for suitable functions $\rho$ and $\phi$. This form - known in the machine-learning literature as Deep Sets - also…
We classify edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent almost equilateral pentagons, in which four edges have the same length. Together with our earlier classifications of edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent equilateral…
A mathematical donut is a rectangle of integral side length with a smaller rectangle (called the hole of the donut), also of integral side length, strictly inside it and with sides of the rectangles parallel to each other, where the area of…
A natural extension of Heron's 2000 year old formula for the area of a triangle to the volume of a tetrahedron is presented. This gives the fourth power of the volume as a polynomial in six simple rational functions of the areas of its four…
Let P be a point inside a convex quadrilateral ABCD. The lines from P to the vertices of the quadrilateral divide the quadrilateral into four triangles. If we locate a triangle center in each of these triangles, the four triangle centers…
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 . We wish to…
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…
The classical Heron problem states: \emph{on a given straight line in the plane, find a point $C$ such that the sum of the distances from $C$ to the given points $A$ and $B$ is minimal}. This problem can be solved using standard geometry or…
A clean lattice triangle in ${\mathbb R}^2$ is a triangle that does not contain any lattice points on its sides other than its vertices. The central goal of this paper is to count the number of clean triangles of a given area up to…
Three linearly dependent and pairwise linearly independent vectors of an euclidian space uniquely determine a planar quadric with symmetry centre in the origin. A rather simple formula for the area of an arbitrary sector at centre of such a…
We provide a complete description of the edge-to-edge tilings with a regular triangle and a shield-shaped hexagon with no right angle. The case of a hexagon with a right angle is also briefly discussed.
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. We wish to understand…
A notion of heaps of modules as an affine version of modules over a ring or, more generally, over a truss, is introduced and studied. Basic properties of heaps of modules are derived. Examples arising from geometry (connections, affine…
