Packing a triangle by equilateral triangles of harmonic sidelengths (Q6080241)

We say that planar convex bodies \(C_1, C_2, \dots\) can be packed into a planar convex body \(C\) if it is possible to apply translations and rotations to the bodies \(C_n\) so that the resulting translated and rotated bodies are contained in \(C\) and have mutually disjoint interiors. If the area of \(C\) is equal to the sum of areas of the bodies, then the packing is perfect. In 1966, M. O. J. Moser posed the problem: find the smallest \(\varepsilon \geq 0\) such that the squares of harmonic sidelengths \(1/2, 1/3, 1/4, \dots\) can be packed into a rectangle of area \(\pi^2/6-1+\varepsilon\) (the sum of areas of the squares equals \(\pi^2/6-1\)). The paper is devoted to an analog of this unsolved problem. It is proved that equilateral triangles of sidelengths \(1/3, 1/4, 1/5, \dots\) can be packed into an equilateral triangle of sidelength \((\pi^2/6-5/4)^{1/2}+1/270\).
