In 1907, the English author and mathematician Henry Ernest Dudeney posed a puzzle: Can any equilateral triangle be cut into as few pieces as possible that will fit together to form a perfect square?

a well-known fractal pattern. Sierpiński triangle is formed by repeatedly cutting out smaller equilateral triangles from a ...

It consists of an equilateral triangle divided into four congruent smaller versions. The middle triangle is removed and the pattern is repeated, creating a fractal. While the concept might appear ...

The interior angles in a triangle always add up to 180º. An equilateral triangle has 3 sides of equal length. The dashes on the lines show they are equal in length. All of the angles are also equal.
