Oct 27, 2017 at 17:11 comment added LSpice @VaughnClimenhaga, can't you just use the same visual proof directly on the equilateral triangle itself?

Mar 19, 2016 at 16:19 comment added Vaughn Climenhaga My favorite proof of this is to observe that if you can do it with an equilateral triangle, then by a few reflections you can do it with a regular hexagon, and then there's a nice visual proof that a regular hexagon cannot be put on the integer lattice: mathoverflow.net/a/25305/5701

Mar 19, 2016 at 15:52 comment added Fedor Petrov This has many nice proofs and generalizations. For example, compare the area formula for equilateral triangle with side $a$ $\sqrt{3}/4 a^2$ and the fact that double area must be integer.
Mar 19, 2016 at 15:51 comment added Gerhard Paseman Nice question. Wrong forum. It might work for math.stackexchange. (Also, it has been proved that equilateral triangles embed in Z^3 and not Z^2.) Gerhard "This Is Not Math.StackExchange Forum" Paseman, 2016.03.19.

Mar 19, 2016 at 15:39 comment added Loïc Teyssier Also the sum of angles must be equal to $\pi$ so of course no all three angles can be rational.
Mar 19, 2016 at 15:38 comment added Qiaochu Yuan Are you measuring angles in degrees or radians? If degrees, take an equilateral triangle with side lengths $1$.
