Acute and obtuse triangles "x", then If two obtuse triangles have sides ("a, b, c") and ("p, q, r") with "c" and "r" being the respective longest sides, then The Calabi triangle, which is the only non-equilateral triangle for which the largest square that fits in the interior can be positioned in any of three different ways, is obtuse and isosceles with base angles 39.1320261...° and third angle 101.7359477...°. The equilateral triangle, with three 60° angles, is acute. The Morley triangle, formed from any triangle by the intersections of its adjacent angle trisectors, is equilateral and hence acute. The golden triangle is the isosceles
Langley’s Adventitious Angles 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 are possible. Cut the Knot list twelve different solutions and several alternative problems with
