Given a $\Delta ABC$ and a line labelled '$n$' that passes through the triangle but it's not parallel to any of the sides, how do we construct a line parallel to '$n$' that will divide $\Delta ABC$ into two parts of equal area.

Up to vertex relabelling, we can assume that there is a point $P$ on the $BC$-side such that $AP$ is parallel to $n$ and $BP\leq PC$. The ratio between the areas of $APC$ and $APB$ is equal to $\frac{PC}{PB}$, so it is $\geq 1$. Let $t$ be the ratio between the area of $CAP$ and half the area of $ABC$: $t\geq 1$ holds. If $Q$ lies between $P$ and $C$, the parallel to $n$ through $Q$ cuts $AC$ in $R$ and $\frac{CP}{CQ}=\sqrt{t}$, the area of $CQR$ is half the area of $ABC$.

In summary, if $M$ is the midpoint of $BC$ and $Q$ lies between $P$ and $M$ such that $CQ^2=CM\cdot CP$, the line through $Q$ parallel to $AP$ splits $ABC$ in a triangle and a convex quadrilateral having equal areas.

You can construct the line to cut the point A, B, or C. This would hopefully get your result. Just a guest though.

    i don't think that would work as 'n' is an arbitrary line.2012-11-16
