  2. Missing square puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle

    The apparent triangles formed from the figures are 13 units wide and 5 units tall, so it appears that the area should be S = ⁠ 13×5 / 2 ⁠ = 32.5 units. However, the blue triangle has a ratio of 5:2 (=2.5), while the red triangle has the ratio 8:3 (≈2.667), so the apparent combined hypotenuse in each figure is actually bent. With the bent ...

  3. Special right triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_right_triangle

    Angle-based special right triangles are specified by the relationships of the angles of which the triangle is composed. The angles of these triangles are such that the larger (right) angle, which is 90 degrees or ⁠π 2 ⁠ radians, is equal to the sum of the other two angles. The side lengths are generally deduced from the basis of the unit ...

  4. MacMahon Squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacMahon_Squares

    MacMahon Squares are an edge-matching puzzle first published by Percy MacMahon in 1921, [1] using 24 unique squares with 3-color patterns; each of the four edges is assigned a single color. The complete set of 24 squares are organized next to each other by matching edge colors to create a 4 by 6 grid. Such tessellation puzzles have multiple ...

  5. T puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_puzzle

    The T-puzzle, a T shape can be assembled with the four pieces on the left. The T puzzle is a tiling puzzle consisting of four polygonal shapes which can be put together to form a capital T. The four pieces are usually one isosceles right triangle, two right trapezoids and an irregular shaped pentagon. Despite its apparent simplicity, it is a ...

  6. Crossed ladders problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossed_ladders_problem

    The problem. Crossed ladders of lengths a and b. h is half the harmonic mean of A and B; equivalently, the reciprocals of A and B sum to the reciprocal of h (the optic equation). Given a, b, and h, find w. Two ladders of lengths a and b lie oppositely across an alley, as shown in the figure. The ladders cross at a height of h above the alley floor.

  7. Langley's Adventitious Angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langley's_Adventitious_Angles

    Langley's Adventitious Angles Solution to Langley's 80-80-20 triangle problem. Langley's Adventitious Angles is a puzzle in which one must infer an angle in a geometric diagram from other given angles.

  8. Dissection puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissection_puzzle

    The puzzle is a dissection of a triangle to a square, in only four pieces. It is one of the simplest regular polygon to square dissections known, and is now a classic example. It is not known whether a dissection of an equilateral triangle to a square is possible with three pieces. The missing square puzzle, in its various forms, is an optical ...

  9. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

    Interior angle Δθ = θ 1 −θ 2. The Pythagorean theorem is a special case of the more general theorem relating the lengths of sides in any triangle, the law of cosines, which states that where is the angle between sides and . [45] When is radians or 90°, then , and the formula reduces to the usual Pythagorean theorem.
