Parallel Covering an Obtuse Triangle with Squares

Suppose that 𝑇 (𝛼, 𝛽) is an obtuse triangle with base length 1 and with base angles 𝛼 and 𝛽 (where 𝛽 > 90 ◦ ). In this note a tight lower bound of the sum of the areas of squares that can parallel cover 𝑇 (𝛼, 𝛽) is given. This result complements the previous lower bound obtained for the triangles with the interior angles at the base of the measure not greater than 90 ◦ .
