Abstract
Mathematical problems are classified into two families, i.e. the solvable ones and the others. There are some such problems in the documentary records of tile Chosun Dynasty ages. In those days, a ‘normal right triangle’ whose ratio of the three sides in the triangle is 3 : 4 : 5 was defined and had been used tacitly. This paper intends to introduce the problems having errors.
