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
Malfatti circles corners of the triangle, the one with the smallest angle, and inscribes a third circle within the largest of the five remaining pieces. The difference in area for an equilateral triangle is small, just over 1%, but as pointed out, for an isosceles triangle with a very sharp apex, the optimal circles (stacked one atop each other above the base of the triangle) have nearly twice the area of the Malfatti circles. The problem of constructing three circles tangent to each other within a triangle was posed by the 18th-century Japanese mathematician Ajima Naonobu prior to the work of Malfatti,
