Subdividing triangles with $\pi$-commensurable angles
Abstract
A point in the interior of a planar triangle determines a subdivision into six subtriangles. A triangle with angles commensurable with is called -commensurable. For such a triangle a subdivision where each of the subtriangles are -commensurable too is called -commensurable. We prove that there are infinitely many -commensurable triangles that do not admit any -commensurable subdivision except the one given by angle bisectors. We count the number of -commensurable subdivisions of triangles. We perform a similar count for Z-degree sub-divisions of Z-degree triangles too. Finally we show that subdivision by angle bisectors is essential in recursive subdivisions in the sense that recursive -commensurable subdivisions of any -commensurable triangle ultimately involve a subdivision by angle bisectors.
