BP924 Polygons where all sides are different lengths vs. Polygons where not all sides are different lengths.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples in this Problem are outlines of convex polygons.

This is a generalisation of scalene triangles to any polygon.

CROSSREFS

The left side implies the right side of BP329 (regular vs. irregular polygons), but the converse is not true.

The left side of BP329 implies the right side, but the converse is not true.

Adjacent-numbered pages:
BP919 BP920 BP921 BP922 BP923  *  BP925 BP926 BP927 BP928 BP929

EXAMPLE

Any scalene triangle will fit on the left, because no two sides are equal.

However, any regular polygon will not fit on the left, because all of its sides are equal.

A random convex polygon will "almost surely" fit on the left.
