  Nazi concentration camp badges - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nazi concentration camp badges, made primarily of inverted triangles, were used in the concentration camps in the Nazi-occupied countries to identify the reason the prisoners had been placed there.
The triangles were made of fabric and were sewn on jackets and shirts of the prisoners.
The color red was probably chosen because it represented the communists, the political enemies that the Nazis hated most (and the first to be officially outlawed).

 Red inverted triangle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Red inverted triangle was the badge that political prisoners in Nazi concentration camps had to wear.
The Nazis chose red because the first people to have to wear it were Communists.
Many red triangle wearers were interned at Dachau Concentration camp.

 Red triangle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The red triangle was a content warning system employed by mainstream terrestrial British TV broadcaster Channel 4 for a brief period in 1986.
Broadcasts were preceded by a warning, saying "Special Discretion Required" and displaying a full-screen logo of a red triangle with a white centre (the standard scheme used for warning signs in the UK).
To prevent viewers who missed the warning at the beginning from later being unwittingly exposed to the adult content of the film, a smaller red triangle was continually displayed in the top left corner of the screen throughout the broadcast.

 Visual Development - Triangle Puzzle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The red triangle is 3 squares high, and should be 7.5 squares across for the hypotenuse to have the same angle to the horizontal.
In fact the red triangle is 8 squares across, and the angle of the hypotenuse is slightly shallower that that of the green triangle.
The bottom 'triangle' is not a triangle either, it is also a tetrahedron, but now the hypotenuse is slightly convex, since the position of the red and green triangles is now reversed.

 Pythagorean Theorem
The red rectangle has its vertical sides equal to the base of the original triangle, and its horizontal sides equal to the difference between the "bottom" side and the "vertical" side of the original triangle.
The original triangle fits exactly into this region because of two reasons; the vertical sides are identical, and the horizontal side of the red region is equal to the length of the red square plus the horizontal length of the red rectangle which we moved.
The horizontal length of the red region is exactly the length of the horizontal side of the original triangle.

 CHAPTER 5
`red triangle', since if counting the sides is a good way of telling whether something is a triangle, it's likewise a good way of telling whether it's a red triangle.
A fortiori, he cannot assume that typical utterances of `red rock', `red cow' etc. are germane to determining the epistemic clauses in the lexical entry for `red'.
The (actual and possible) red triangles are the intersection of the (actual and possible) things `red' denotes and the (actual and possible) things `triangle' denotes; the pet fish are the intersection of the things `pet' denotes with the things that `fish' denotes.

In a formal proof, we would next have to show that the scale between triangles is rational so that a triangle may be broken down into smaller triangles until the original and the image triangles are able to share a scale.
The yellow plus the red area is the image of the original triangle with a dilation factor of 3.
The green plus the red area is the image of the original triangle with a dilation factor of 4.

 Ratios in Triangles
The yellow triangle is mathematically similar to the red and the blue triangle.
The initial geometry of the red triangle was arbitrary.
If we had picked other numbers for the ratio of the sides of the red triangle, the value of angle c would be different and the value of the tangent would be different.

In fact the top triangle is not a triangle at all, it is a quadrilateral.
The bottom 'triangle' is not a triangle either, it is also a quadrilateral, but now the hypotenuse is slightly convex, since the position of the red and green triangles is now reversed.
We hereby conclude that the intersection between the dark-green and the red triangle, is not a straight line, but two lines, presented with an outside angle of 181,245° - and this appears as one line.

What began as a way for the Red Cross to promote its services to the communities it serves and to raise funds to cover the costs associated with them has become a celebration of the unique and vital role it plays in local neighborhoods across the country.
Six months after Hurricane Katrina, the American Red Cross is still on the scene and still meeting the needs of residents trying to rebuild in and around New Orleans.
Some of the uses for funding include, but are not limited to: responding to single family fires, opening shelters, teaching CPR and First Aid, swimming and water safety, collecting blood for community hospitals and communicating emergency messages between military personnel and their families worldwide.

 My CAN-I Thought Process!: Comment on Do You Know the answer for this Puzzle?
The 1st and the 2nd figures are not triangles,because the angle of the red triangle is slightly less than that of the green triangle.
To be precise, the green and red triangles must be SIMILAR figures, meaning their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional.
The slopes of the 2 triangles are not equal, thus the triangle is not a triangle; it is a 4 sided polygon.

 Math Forum - Ask Dr. Math
Because if the red and green right triangles were similar, you could place the green one at the bottom left and the red one at the top right, and leave no blank white square when you moved the orange figure.
But the triangles are not similar, so when you place the green one in the lower position and the red one in the higher position, you decrease the total area of the larger triangle that contains the red and green triangle and the other orange figure.
In the second triangle, the situation is reversed: you switch from a steeper slope to a gentler one, which makes the 'hypotenuse' slightly convex.

 Ramsey's Theorem
If you think of your 6 friends as pegs, a red string connecting 2 pegs representing the fact that the 2 corresponding friends have been introduced, and a green string connected 2 pegs representing the fact that the 2 corresponding friends have not been introduced, then both formulations say the same thing.
In the parlance of Ramsey's Theorem, these single-colored triangles are called homogeneous (meaning of uniform structure or composition) or monochromatic (meaning of one color).
However, one can calculate that there are 2^903 (a number that has 272 decimal digits!) ways to arrange red and green string among 43 pegs, which is a number beyond ordinary comprehension (scientists estimate that there are about 80 digits in the number of electrons in the universe).
