Title: equalateral division
Post by mook on Aug 3^rd, 2002, 10:45am

no posts. is this too easy?
an eq triangle is divide into 4 smaller eq triangles. take away 1, you have three. divide each of those into 4 eq triangles and you have twelve smaller eq triangles. to get four identical shapes place three triangles together the smae way 4 times.

Am i missing something?
