Let T denote a closed unit equilateral triangle. For a fixed integer n, let dn denote the infimum of all those x for which it is possible to partition T into n subsets, each subset having a diameter not exceeding x. We recall that the diameter of a plane set A is given by where ρ (a, b) is the Euclidean distance between a and b.In this note we determined dn for some small values of n. Typical values of dn are given in Table I. These values were obtained by three methods. As would be expected, as the value of n increases, the complexity of the argument needed to obtain dn also increases. We begin with the simplest case.
