  1. A quadrilateral can be partitioned into 2 equal-area triangles if and only if one diagonal divides equally the other diagonal.

  2. It can be proved that most quadrilaterals cannot be partitioned into 3 equal-area triangles.

  3. Conjecture: For any natural number $n$, there exists a quadrilateral that cannot be partitioned into $n$ equal-area triangles.

    How can one prove this?

  1. partition a quadrilateral into 2 equal triangles

    A quadrilateral can be partitioned into 2 equal-area triangles if and only if one diagonal divides equally the other diagonal.

  2. It can be proved that most quadrilaterals cannot be partitioned into 3 equal-area triangles.
