What would be the area of the towel draped over a sphere that would ensure that you find the tangent plane? Are there any tricks of reflection that simplifies stuff too? Hopping onto a sphere with your question, where the elusive tangent planes abound, a lost poet is seeking the least bounding area he needs to cover to find that plane of Infinity.

What would be the area of the towel draped over a sphere that would ensure that you find the tangent plane?

Are there any tricks of reflection that simplifies stuff too?

You get a nice 30-60-90 triangle.
