Crystallographic restriction theorem lattice basis, the rotation operation must map every lattice point into an integer number of lattice vectors, so the entries of the rotation matrix in the lattice basis — and hence the trace — are necessarily integers. Similar as in other proofs, this implies that the only allowed rotational symmetries correspond to 1,2,3,4 or 6-fold invariance. For example, wallpapers and crystals cannot be rotated by 45° and remain invariant, the only possible angles are: 360°, 180°, 120°, 90° or 60°. Example The general crystallographic restriction on rotations does "not" guarantee that a rotation will be compatible with a specific lattice.
Heronian triangle product of the two shorter sides of the triangle, at least one of which must be even. An example of a Heronian triangle which is not right-angled is the isosceles triangle with sidelengths 5, 5, and 6, whose area is 12. This triangle is obtained by joining two copies of the right-angled triangle with sides 3, 4, and 5 along the sides of length 4. This approach works in general, as illustrated in the adjacent picture. One takes a Pythagorean triple ("a", "b", "c"), with "c" being largest, then another one ("a", "d", "e"), with "e" being largest, constructs the
