Tiling the plane with pair-wise non-congruent and mutually similar triangles
Question: Is it possible to tile the plane with triangles that are (1) mutually similar, (2) pairwise non-congruent and (3)non-right? No other constraints.
Note 1: Reg requirement 3 above: since any ...

Squarefree parts of integers of the form $xy(x+2y)(y+2x)$
The motivation for this question comes from Theorem 3.3 of the 1995 paper Tilings of Triangles by M. Laczkovich, which states:
Let $x$ and $y$ be non-zero integers such that $x+2y\neq 0\neq y+2x$. ...

Partition of polygons into 'strongly acute' and 'strongly obtuse' triangles
Definition: Let us refer to obtuse triangles with the largest angle strictly above a given cutoff value as 'strongly obtuse' - the definition is parametrized by the cutoff value. Likewise, strongly ...

Triangles that can be cut into mutually congruent and non-convex polygons
It is easy to note that an equilateral triangle can be cut into 3 mutually congruent and non-convex polygons (replace the 3 lines meeting at centroid and separating out the 3 congruent quadrilaterals ...

Tiling with a one-parameter family of non-congruent triangles
This post continues Tiling with triangles of same circumradius and inradius.
The following are known about infinite sets of triangles that can be parametrized with one variable:
from an infinite set ...
