To generalize, one can use other cevians in place of our medians, by letting Mi =
(1 − r)Ai + r Ai+1 for some fixed ratio r other than r = 1/2, as in FIGURE 10. It is
then not difficult to establish a generalization to Theorem 1, in which the minimum
and maximum for |A| / |B| are replaced by (r
2 − 2r + 2)/r
2
and (r
2 − r + 1)/r
3
, respectively.
One can make more cuts to form an n-crosscut, skewed chessboard, as
in FIGURE 11 (where n = 4)
