Langley’s Adventitious Angles the first of the three unsolved problems listed by Rigby in his 1978 paper. Langley’s Adventitious Angles Langley’s Adventitious Angles is a mathematical problem posed by Edward Mann Langley in "The Mathematical Gazette" in 1922. In its original form the problem was as follows: formula_1 is an isosceles triangle. A solution was developed by James Mercer in 1923. This solution involves drawing one additional line, and then making repeated use of the fact that the internal angles of a triangle add up to 180° to prove that several triangles drawn within the large triangle are all isosceles. Many other solutions
Schwarz triangle function classification of arithmetic triangle groups (there are only finitely many) and determined when two of them are commensurable. The particular example is related to Bring's curve and the arithmetic theory implies that the triangle group for Δ contains the triangle group for the triangle Δ with angles /4, /4 and /5 as a non-normal subgroup of index 6. Doubling the triangles Δ and Δ, this implies that there should be a relation between 6 triangles Δ with angles /2, /5 and /5 and hyperbolic area /10 and a triangle Δ with angles /5, /5 and /10 and hyperbolic area 3/5.
