IM55357 is a tablet showing right angled triangles
it is sometimes used as evidence that the Babylonians (around 1900 to 1600BCE) were able to use similar triangle techniques
EM Bruins points out that there is not widespread evidence of this being the case
he shows that a relationship can be derived just by using areas of triangles and a trapezium
how?
