Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration shows three spherical triangles. Triangles and
have a common base and the same area, so they are equivalent by dissection (as shown in Dissection of Two Spherical Triangles with a Common Base). Triangles
and
also have a common base and the same area, so they are also equivalent by dissection. So triangles
and
are equivalent by dissection.
