Line 10: --[[User:Paddy3118\|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118\|talk]]) 10:10, 18 December 2021 (UTC) ==What does random and not-similar mean?== The minimum number is three. First bisect the rectangle into two equal triangles. The problem is now reduced to splitting one of these triangles into n-1 unequal triangles, which is trivial. Is this random? The triangles are all different, are they non-similar? --[[User:Nigel Galloway\|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway\|talk]]) 12:12, 18 December 2021 (UTC) :Similar triangles have a precise mathematical definition that is probably going too far as I think it means having the same angles, allowing rotation, flipping and scaling. Just not having the lengths of each side the same would be enough I think, so scaled triangles would not be classed as similar in this task. --[[User:Paddy3118\|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118\|talk]]) 17:08, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
