Ok, so here is one way to do it that gets rid of the straddling assumption. But it does not get rid of the same orientation assumption.
If the triangle sides are a,b,c. The number of rectangles that can fit would be
\Sigma_{n=1} \downarrow\frac{d_{n}}{R_{2}}
where
d_n = a - (...
Ive come up with this so far. It only allows to fit the rectangles in portrait or landscape mode, not a combination of both, nor diagonally.
Any triangle can be made into two right triangles (I think).
A given right triangle has bases t1,t2, and hypotenuse t3.
The number of rectangles...
Does anyone know how one could calculate the maximum number of whole rectangles that can fit into a triangle.
Say you know the length of the sides of the triangle (t1,t2,t3) and the of the sides of the rectangle (r1,r2).
Thanks.

I read about the Wu experiment with the cobalt 60 carbon molecule decaying and emitting an electrons in the opposite direction of its spin. I don't understand why this is evidence for parity violations. It seems that if you mirror this experiment you will get the same image in the mirror...
Im trying to understand parity in the Standard Model.
Ive read that quarks have positive parity. However I thought that the reason electrons have negative parity is because of the a symmetry of their wave functions, and this is what defines them as fermions. Quarks are fermions as well as I...
Second attempt here to get an answer, I am really lost on this.
Im reading "A first course in String Theory" by Zwiebach and it says that when applying a general \tau gauge parametrization in the form of n_\mu X^\mu = \lambda \tau we can take the vector n_\mu so that for open strings...
Im reading about T-duality in string theory and I am trying to understand: in a D dimensional, toroidally, compactified space, is there a symmetry for every compact dimension with itself and with every other compact dimension as well?
So, I know that T-Duality implies symmetry under
R^i...
Fashioned after the derivation of the equation of motion for a string with Neumann b.c in Zwiebach's a first course of string theory, I have derived the very similar equation using Dirchlet b.c. My result, in natural units, is
X^{\mu}(\tau,\sigma)=X_{0}^{\mu}-2\alpha' p^{\mu}\sigma +\sum_{n\ne...
