Dividing the Sides of a Triangle in Proportional Parts
The paper shows that a triangle is dissected into sets of three polygons of equal area and possibly a central polygon when its sides are divided in proportional parts. First the division of the sides in three proportional parts will be considered, thereafter the more general case.
