Equidissection Equidissection In geometry, an equidissection is a partition of a polygon into triangles of equal area. The study of equidissections began in the late 1960s with Monsky's theorem, which states that a square cannot be equidissected into an odd number of triangles. In fact, most polygons cannot be equidissected at all. Much of the literature is aimed at generalizing Monsky's theorem to broader classes of polygons. The general question is: Which polygons can be equidissected into how many pieces? Particular attention has been given to trapezoids, kites, regular polygons, centrally symmetric polygons, polyominos, and hypercubes. Equidissections do not have many
Coxeter decompositions of hyperbolic polygons of polygons in which any two sharing a side are reflections of each other along that side. The goal of a Coxeter decomposition is to break up a polygon into a composition of congruent triangles reflected on its sides. If triangle ABC can undergo Coxeter decomposition and has angles formula_1, where formula_2 is the number of times the formula_3th angle is broken up, the triangle ABC can be written as formula_4. Several properties of these fundamental polygons are known for hyperbolic triangles. Quadrilaterals may also have Coxeter decompositions.
