Abstract

The authors focus on the process of inscribing triangles between parallel lines in the Euclidean plane through the use of an iterative process. They found out that the limiting triangle is equilateral when the geometry is hyperbolic and the lines are asymptotically parallel. They note that the process is extended to the sphere once limiting triangle is isosceles.
