London mathematical papyrus"The Rhind"



A triangle with matching angles makes a shape with two equal triangular sides, this shape may have a right angle diameter while a shape with four matching sides may have two cross- diameters each is right angle.


A four sided shape ,once it gets divided equally it makes two matching angles then that shape turns to be a six sided one with two other matching angles creating two triangular with equal angles at the bases.



As for a circle, it can turn to a triangular once it gets divided into equal sides. But never the diameter's angles be sharp" or once it becomes sharp never creates a triangular shape" but once it has equal sides it can be making two triangular.

This is a replica to t he original mathematical papyrus called the" Rhind "I painted it on a sheet of modern papyrus. The original is a great masterpiece kept in the British museum and known as London mathematical papyrus. The Rend papyrus dates back to the middle kingdom around 1900 BC .It was used by a master mathematician to teach his students in the scribe schools which were often founded by the temples of ancient Egypt. The Rend papyrus covers 87 mathematical issues relate to triangle, circles, squares, trapezoids and so on. The papyrus is much older than any Greek or Roman knowledge about this subject.
