i asked myself what a picture of a line parallel to a base of an equilateral triangle would look like if the line were to divide the triangle into two shapes of equal area
spoiler alert, it looks exactly like this: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ChvEONMUoAAQ1ke.png
it took a lot of time to figure this out actually and i want my efforts to be known to humanity |

| does that triangle or this whole mathematic babble have a name? interesting with the line through a triangle, looks like a nice thing to paint too |

| fun fact: the base of the triangle is exactly sqrt(2) times larger than the line segment inside the triangle |

@ancient

I'd suspect you need some sort of calculus for that but I'm not sure |

@froggo
i only used geometry and algebra to figure it out. i could write out a step-by-step process of what i did but it'd be pretty long |
