Distances to Vertices
In the square below, points that are closer to the center than one of the vertices is coloured yellow. The area of the yellow region is 1/2 of the area of the square.

Every line going through the center of a square bisects its area. Does every line going through the center of an equilateral triangle bisect its area too?
Let’s draw a smaller square inside a unit square by dividing out a fixed fraction of each side and connecting the dividing point to an opposite angle.
We start with a polygon and a number of points inside it. We are asked to draw line segments between the points to subdivide the entire polygon into triangles.
