چکیده
We consider a dissection problem of a regular n-sided polygon that generalizes Suzuki’s problem of four congruent incircles in an equilateral triangle.

Similar Triangles, Another Trace of the Golden Ratio
In this paper we investigate similar triangles which are not congruent but have two pair congruent sides. We show that greatest lower bound of values for similarity ratio of such triangles is golden ratio. For right triangles, we prove that the supremum of values for similarity ratio is the square root of the golden ratio.
متن کاملUbiquitous Archimedean Circles of the Collinear Arbelos
For a point O on the segment AB in the plane, the area surrounded by the three semicircles with diameters AO, BO and AB erected on the same side is called an arbelos. It has lots of unexpected but interesting properties (for an extensive reference see [1]). The radical axis of the inner semicircles divides the arbelos into two curvilinear triangles with congruent incircles called the twin circl...
متن کاملHinged Dissection of Polyominoes and Polyforms
A hinged dissection of a set of polygons S is a collection of polygonal pieces hinged together at vertices that can be rotated into any member of S. We present a hinged dissection of all edge-to-edge gluings of n congruent copies of a polygon P that join corresponding edges of P . This construction uses kn pieces, where k is the number of vertices of P . When P is a regular polygon, we show how...
متن کاملSpherical F-Tilings by Triangles and r-Sided Regular Polygons, r >= 5
The study of dihedral f-tilings of the sphere S2 by spherical triangles and equiangular spherical quadrangles (which includes the case of 4-sided regular polygons) was presented in [3]. Also, in [6], the study of dihedral f-tilings of S2 whose prototiles are an equilateral triangle (a 3-sided regular polygon) and an isosceles triangle was described (we believe that the analysis considering scal...
متن کاملTiling Polygons with Lattice Triangles
Given a simple polygon with rational coordinates having one vertex at the origin and an adjacent vertex on the x-axis, we look at the problem of the location of the vertices for a tiling of the polygon using lattice triangles (i.e., triangles which are congruent to a triangle with the coordinates of the vertices being integer). We show that the coordinate of the vertices in any tiling are ratio...
