Calabi triangle

The Calabi triangle is a special triangle found by Eugenio Calabi and defined by its property of having three different placements for the largest square that it contains.[1] It is an isosceles triangle which is obtuse with an irrational but algebraic ratio between the lengths of its sides and its base.[2]
