| Aug 21, 2010 at 2:29 | comment | added | Victor Protsak | In fact, a common way to see that Malfatti's solution isn't always right is to consider the limiting case, an isosceles triangle with a fixed base and side angles approaching the right angle, so that the triangle becomes a strip of a fixed width. So the real question is, why did it take so long? | |
