Let's learn maths in a fun way !! How to make Penrose's impossible triangle
Materials:
- Folios or drawing paper.
- Colored pencils, wax, markers (markers or markers) to decorate.
- Optional: rulers and scissors. You can also make the drawings by hand.
Process:
- Follow the steps indicated in the photos.

History
The first impossible triangle was created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934 when he was only 18 years old. Reutersvärd placed several cubes in perspective forming a very special triangle. When you see it, you immediately realize that there is something that does not fit, and that is that, while the figure is totally feasible in 2 dimensions, in 3 dimensions it does not make any sense, it is unrealizable.
So is ours!
Years later, and independently, this triangle was rediscovered by the mathematician Roger Penrose and his father, the psychiatrist Lionel Penrose. They drew a figure similar to that of Reutersvärd but using bars instead of cubes. Father and son made their triangle very popular in the middle of the last century, so much so that it appeared in some works of the Dutch artist M.C. Escher.
Since then, although Oscar Reutersvärd is considered the father of impossible figures, it is known as the Penrose triangle.
