Re: I stole Pythagoras's shoes!
Brilliant! 
I'm sure Pythagoras would have happily given you his shoes just for the beauty of that construction.

Hi benice;
Very, very pretty.
I am sure you have noticed that G has gone 3D!

For some reason that reminds me of Zero Mostel.

Somewhat better, but not 100%. Yes, he did look like that but he had dark hair.

Hi Agnishom;
The 3, 4, 5 aspect of the triangle is a little unusual.

Re: I stole Pythagoras's shoes!
Hi;
Makes it more difficult to compute and to even program. Also I know the answer for an equilateral triangle.

An equilateral triangle is never right angled

Re: I stole Pythagoras's shoes!
Hi Agnoshom;
That is the problem, you do not form an equilaterla triangle, they want a proportion of 3:4:5 for each triangle. But I have been making progress with the problem.

Hi Agnishom;
With experimental mathematics of course! That means playing with geogebra. But since I am only half done I can not brag about anything. This idea may not work!
