Equal triangles in dome surface
Equal triangles in dome surface
(OP)
Pals
I post this here because domes featuring triangular grids are usually in steel.
Does anyone know of a text or website that will help me determine size of equilateral triangles to fit on the surface of a sphere? Some magic formula
Ancient greeks probably solved this one but not me.

The best way to work out the solution is to look at the latitude and longitude system of earth. You can easily devide the earth into slices of latitudes and find out linear distance using 10th grade geometry. Similarly you can find out the distance between longitudes using a litte more maths.
