Talk:Ideas in Geometry/Instructive examples/Section 2.4 number 23

Hey, I think this is a good start. I think that you should provide the picture on here so someone who doesn't have the book readily available can see what you are talking about. It is a little hard to follow at times. I think the picture would aid in this as well. What do you mean by 6 half triangles? Are you referring to the 6 gray figures? and I don't quite understand where we switched from triangles to halves. I would look at your wording a little more carefully. I just dont follow how you got both sides of the equation equal.(Hbrozowski 23:12, 25 October 2010 (UTC))

I think you did a good job of explaining this; however, it is a very confusing without a picture. If you added the picture from the book you could show exactly what you are doing in realtion to the part of the picture. Also there are two things you should change:          But since we only wants<---change to want           6 halves we need to divide n/2< are these halves the triangles? this should probably be relabeled.
