Symmetry
Symmetry
3-fold dihedral symmetry (group D3, order 6). (Friedman's page says: horizontally symmetric.)
Minimal triangles
6 triangles tied (within relative 10−9) at the minimal area:

Provenance
- Found by L. Yang, J. Z. Zhang, and Z. B. Zeng, 1991.
- Proved optimal by L. Yang, J. Z. Zhang, and Z. B. Zeng, 1994.
- One of an infinite family of solutions.
- Coordinates reconstructed by local optimization:
heilbronn-site reconstruct/reconstruct.py— reconstructed by local optimization; matches published value 0.125. - Verified in exact arithmetic: all 20 triples enumerated, 6 tied at the minimum.
- Friedman's page lists:
A = 1/8 = .125.
