Task

edit

The largest square inscribe in a right isosceles triangle of side length

General case

edit

Segments in the general case

edit

0) The side length of the base triangle is:
1) The side length of the inscribed square is:

Perimeters in the general case

edit

0) Perimeter of base triangle:
1) Perimeter of inscribed square:

Areas in the general case

edit

0) Area of the base triangle:
1) Area of the inscribed square:

Centroids in the general case

edit

0) By definition the centroid point of a base shape is
1) The centroid point of the inscribed square relative to the centroid of the base shape is:
, see calculation (1)

Normalised case

edit

In the normalised case the area of the base shape is set to 1.
So

Segments in the normalised case

edit

0) Side length of the triangle
1) The side length of the square is: ,

Perimeters in the normalised case

edit

0) Perimeter of base triangle:
1) Perimeter of inscribed square:
S) Sum of perimeters:

Areas in the normalised case

edit

0) Area of the base triangle is by definition
1) Area of the inscribed square:

Centroids in the normalised case

edit

0) By definition the centroid point of a base shape is
1) The centroid point of the inscribed square relative to the centroid of the base shape is:

Distances of centroids

edit

The distance between the centroid of the base triangle and the centroid of the semicircle is:

Sum of distances:

Identifying number

edit

Apart of the base element there is one other shape allocated. Therefore the integer part of the identifying number is 1.
The decimal part of the identifying number is the decimal part of the sum of the perimeters and the distances of the centroids in the normalised case.



So the identifying number is:

Calculations

edit

Known elements

edit

(0) Given is the side length of the equilateral triangle:
(1)


Calculation 1

edit

The centroid of the square relative to the centroid of the triangle is:
