Reflecting a triangle in the plane
Call two triangles in the Euclidean plane equivalent if they are connected by a finite chain of triangles each of which is obtained from the previous one by reflecting that in one of its sides. Let \(\Omega\) denote the set of vertices of the triangles equivalent to a given triangle \(T\). \(\Omega\) is the discrete set of vertices of a tiling of the plane by congruent triangles if \(T\) has angles \((60^ \circ,\;60^ \circ,\;60^ \circ)\), \((30^ \circ,\;30^ \circ,\;120^ \circ)\), \((45^ \circ,\;45^ \circ,\;90^ \circ)\) or \((30^ \circ,\;60^ \circ,\;90^ \circ)\). It is shown in this paper that in all other cases, \(\Omega\) is everywhere dense in the plane. The proof follows different lines according to whether or not all angles of \(T\) (measured in degrees) are rational.
