Isosceles subtriangle in the regular polygon. (Gleichschenklige Teildreiecke im regelmäßigen Vieleck.) (German) Zbl 1251.51004

The author deals with a problem concerning isosceles triangles in regular \(n\)-gons where \(n\) is an odd number. The triangles lie in the so-called main diagonal triangle. One can find a nice truss model, too. A similar problem for even \(n\) is considered. The author also constructs a special network of rhombuses in regular \(n\)-gons.
