We mean a traingle in , 3 points that are not collinear in
a) Suppose that is triangle in . Prove that there is a triangle in that .
b) Find a natural that for each traingle that can be embedded in it can be embedded in .
c) Find a triangle that can be embedded in and no triangle similar to it can be embedded in .
d) Find a natural that for each traingle that can be embedded in then there is a triangle similar to it, that can be embedded in .
You must prove the problem for and to get complete mark. (Better results leads to additional mark.)
