Problem Solving in Geometry--A Sequence of Reuleaux Triangles.
Smart, James R.
Mathematics Teacher, v79 n1 p11-14 Jan 1986
A Reuleaux triangle is an example of a curve of constant width; the distance between parallel tangents is the same no matter which direction is used. A consideration of a particular set of Reuleaux triangles is offered which leads to a good example of problem-solving in geometry. (JN)
