Abstract:In this paper we find the necessary and sufficient conditions on a, b, c, s for a triangle with sides a, b, c to fit into a square of side s.Questions about precisely when one shape fits into another attract wide attention. In 1993 Post [1] gave necessary and sufficient conditions on the six sides of two triangles for the first to fit into the second. Recently, the necessary and sufficient conditions for squares to fit in triangles [2], equilateral triangles in triangles [3], rectangles in triangles [4] and re… Show more
