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
Hyperbolic geometry or hypercycle, then the triangle has no circumscribed circle. As in spherical and elliptical geometry, in hyperbolic geometry if two triangles are similar, they must be congruent. A special polygon in hyperbolic geometry is the regular apeirogon, a uniform polygon with an infinite number of sides. In Euclidean geometry, the only way to construct such a polygon is to make the side lengths tend to zero and the apeirogon is indistinguishable from a circle, or make the interior angles tend to 180 degrees and the apeirogon approaches a straight line. However, in hyperbolic geometry, a regular apeirogon has sides of
