Abstract: We prove a conjecture of Kenyon and Smillie concerning the nonexistence of acute rational-angled triangles with the lattice property.

Summary: We prove a conjecture of \textit{R. Kenyon} and \textit{J. Smillie} [Comment. Math. Helv. 75, No. 1, 65--108 (2000; Zbl 0967.37019)] concerning the nonexistence of acute rational-angled triangles with the lattice property.
