Challenge 88: Pair of Points
Can you solve this pair of questions about a special pair of points?
Many thanks to Tom Wilkinson for contributing this week's puzzle.
This week we have a two part problem.
Part A: I place 5 points in an equilateral triangle of side length 2 units. Show that there is a pair of points that are no more than 1 units apart.
Part B: Now I place 9 points in a sphere of radius 1. Show that there is a pair of points that are no more than √2 units apart.
