In folding an irregularly shaped tent, I managed to get the shape of a triangle, which was evenly thick. Unfortunately, the best way to fold a tent is in a rectangle that is evenly thick. How can I fold a triangle into a rectangle without making some parts of it thicker than others?
(In reply to
Solution? by Fletch)
That works great if it's an equilateral triangle. It also works for an isosceles triangle as long as you start with the corner between the two equal sides.
If you have a right triangle, all you need to do is fold the two non-90-degree corners over to the 90-degree corner.
I have NO idea what to do with a scalene triangle either obtuse or acute.
The problem did not specify what kind of triangle.
