I'm more surprised that trapeziums aren't related to triangles.
All points on a triangle lie somewhere between their incircle and their circumcircle, so it checks out.
Wow! I was so sure that circles and pentagons were closely related. Who would have known.
- I'm pretty sure pentagons are a subspecies of bestagons...
The classic square peg in a round hole problem.
- You can just drop them all in the square hole. Triangles, semicircles, arches, doesn’t matter. All of them go into the square hole.
