A 3D-printed version of the Reutersvärd Triangle illusion. M.C. Escher's lithograph Waterfall (1961) depicts a watercourse that flows in a zigzag along the long sides of two elongated Penrose triangles, so that it ends up two stories higher than it began. The resulting waterfall, forming the short sides of both triangles, drives a water wheel.
This wallpaper group corresponds to the case that all triangles of the same orientation are equal, while both types have rotational symmetry of order three, but the two are not equal, not each other's mirror image, and not both symmetric (if the two are equal it is p6, if they are each other's mirror image it is p31m, if they are both symmetric ...
A bulbous bow is a streamlined flaring or protruding bulb at the bow (or front) of a ship just below the waterline. The flare or bulb modifies the way the water flows around the hull , reducing drag and thus increasing speed, range, fuel efficiency , and stability.

Triangles have many types based on the length of the sides and the angles. A triangle whose sides are all the same length is an equilateral triangle, [3] a triangle with two sides having the same length is an isosceles triangle, [4] [a] and a triangle with three different-length sides is a scalene triangle.

A rhombitrihexagonal tiling: tiled floor in the Archeological Museum of Seville, Spain, using square, triangle, and hexagon prototiles Tessellation in two dimensions, also called planar tiling, is a topic in geometry that studies how shapes, known as tiles , can be arranged to fill a plane without any gaps, according to a given set of rules.

The boundary of a Reuleaux triangle is a constant width curve based on an equilateral triangle. All points on a side are equidistant from the opposite vertex. A Reuleaux triangle is a curved triangle with constant width, the simplest and best known curve of constant width other than the circle. [1]
