Parallel packing a square with isosceles right triangles and equilateral triangles

Combinatorics 2026-05-26 v2

Abstract

Suppose that II is a unit square. Let TT (resp. Δ\Delta) be an isosceles right triangle (resp. an equilateral triangle). We prove that any collection of triangles homothetic to TT (resp. Δ\Delta), whose total area does not exceed 12\frac{1}{2} (resp. 34\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}), can be parallel packed into II. These upper bounds are tight.
