Subdividing a polygon into triangles 2006-01-26
From Adam:
is there an algorithm to divide a regular polygon into N equilateral triangles having the same area (no limit on N), or if not, an algorithm to divide a regular polygon into N triangles having the same shape and size?

Subdividing a circle 2002-11-11
From David:
Say you have a cirlcle.

Then you draw 2 dots on the circle.

Then you connect the dots with lines.

The circle is divided into 2 parts.

If you do the same with 3 dots and connect each dot to each dot with a line then you get a circle with 4 parts.

4 dots with lines connecting all (6 lines) = 8 parts....

Dividing a Circle 1999-04-12
From Mike Kenedy:
I am having trouble with a homework question for bonus marks. A Circle is continually divided by lines that do not intersect the center so that they produce the most pieces of circle. For example
  • 1 line divides the circle into 2.
  • 2 into 4.
  • 3, however into 7.
  • 4 into11
  • 5 into 16
  • 6 into 22
  • 7 into 29
  • 8 into 37
  • etc...
I am stumped and cannot figure out the equation, though I'm sure it involves squares. Can you help?
