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
Integer triangle formula_112 and formula_113 generate the same triple. Unfortunately the two pairs can both be of gcd=3, so we can't avoid duplicates by simply skipping that case. Instead, duplicates can be avoided by formula_27 going only till formula_115. Note that we still need to divide by 3 if gcd=3. The only solution for formula_116 under the above constraints is formula_117 for formula_118. With this additional formula_119 constraint all triples can be generated uniquely. An Eisenstein triple is a set of integers which are the lengths of the sides of a triangle where one of the angles is 60 degrees. Integer triangles
