Any quadrilateral is made up two triangles, yes? Is any polygon made up of triangles? I'm thinking, yes. And then wondering if that goes towards a solution to the problem. Probably not, but just thought I'd ask! Like I said, I'm finding this really interesting. I haven't worked the math part of my brain for a long time, and it's fun! :-)
Does mathematics have to have clear immediate applications to make it "cutting edge"? (real question, I have no idea what would make math cutting edge)
*refrains from making jokes about the math of knives, swords, and paper-cuts*
