For this proof to be complete, it needs to be shown that the trapezoid sequence fills ABC triangle in its entirety. I.e. that for every point between A and C there is a trapezoid in the sequence that covers it. Not hard to do by any means, but the resulting proof is not going to be purely visual anymore.


Why is this completely necessary? What would be an acceptable proof to you of this statement?
