Solution
Since one triangle is divided into three equal parts, therefore, each part is one-third `(1/3)` of the whole triangle. Let us `1/3` in each part and colour them in a different colour as shown in the above figure.
In order to show that these parts are equal. Let us name them, T1 T2 and T3. Trace any of them, say T1. Now place traced part over T2 and T3. We find that T1 covers T1, T2 and T3 are of the same shape and size. Hence, these triangles are equal.
