Drawing A Triangle

Author: Henry O. Pollak



It happened to me-again- last semester. I needed to draw an "arbitrary" triangle on the blackboard. I did not want it to be special in any way-not nearly isosceles, not nearly right. And for my purposes I wanted it to be acute. So what I wished for was an acute triangle that was as far from being either right or isosceles as possible. I found this difficult to do. What should it look like?
