This problem was initially posed by Nandakumar [17, 22] and was first studied by Kiss, Pach, and Somlai [13], who showed that if Δ′ is the smallest area isosceles triangle containing Δ, then Δ′ and Δ share a side and an angle. In the present paper, we prove that for any triangle Δ, every maximum area isosceles triangle embedded in Δ and every maximum perimeter isosceles triangle embedded in Δ shares a side and an angle with Δ. Somewhat surprisingly, the case of minimum perimeter enclosing triangles is different: there are infinite families of triangles Δ whose minimum perimeter isosceles containers do not share a side and an angle with Δ."}],"_id":"14464","date_published":"2023-10-05T00:00:00Z","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2205.11637"}],"oa":1,"publication_status":"published","volume":34,"title":"Optimal embedded and enclosing isosceles triangles","citation":{"apa":"Ambrus, Á., Csikós, M., Kiss, G., Pach, J., &#38; Somlai, G.
