Explanations :
For example to divide the triangle in the image below into 4 equal triangles, we can simply divide its base of 8cms to 4 equal parts of 2cms each and form the 4 triangles of equal area.
divide a triangle into 4 triangles of equal area
I am having problem with this solution for the case when the triangle is non-isosceles.
It would still work. As explained, area = base*height/2, and since the height remains the same, if we divide the base into equal length we would get triangles of equal areas.
divide the base into n parts. Join it with opposite vertice
