Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me how can i divide a triangle into 'n' equal triangles?
I have a triangle set by 3 points P1, P2, P3. And can anyone help me with solving this problem?

Show the code you have written so far.

When you say equal, do you mean the triangles should have equal areas?

Can't you use polyarea() to get the area of P1P2P3, and then, with a P4 inside the triangle, use polyarea() again to get the area of the 3 interior triangles. Then use fzero() to minimize 3*totalArea - area1-area2-area3?
Is this a homework problem?

Suppose you have a triangle defined by the vertices A, B and C. To subdivide this triangle into n triangles of equal area you can do the following:
1) Insert n-1 points along the edge AB
2) Connect new points to C to form n new triangles
3) Use the fact that the desired of area of each triangle is area(ABC)/n to adjust the positions of newly inserted points. Note that contrary to the suggestion given by Image Analyst, no optimization is required to compute new positions.

My recollection is that equally spaced points gives the desired solution, but an immediate proof of that is not coming to mind.

Well if one point is fixed, and you divide the base by 3 then the area will be 1/3 the original area since the area is base*height/2 and the height is the same and the base is 1/3 the original base.
