Square-Triangle Theorem continued

Filed under: General,Geometry — Tags: , — m759 @ 6:00 am

Last night's post described a book by Alexander Soifer
on questions closely related to— and possibly
suggested by— a Miscellanea  item and a letter to
the editor
in the American Mathematical Monthly ,
June-July issues of 1984 and 1985.

Further search yields a series of three papers by
Michael Beeson on the same questions. These papers are
more mathematically  presentable than Soifer's book.

Triangle Tiling I

Triangle Tiling II

Triangle Tiling III

       March 11, 2012 

These three recent preprints replace some 2010 drafts not now available.
Here are the abstracts of those drafts—

"Tiling triangle ABC with congruent triangles similar to ABC"
 (March 13, 2010),

"Tiling a triangle with congruent triangles"
(July 1, 2010).

Beeson, like Soifer, omits any reference to the "Triangles are square" item
of 1984 and the followup letter of 1985 in the Monthly .
