in the settlement of an estate, the judge has decreased that that a wedge-shaped peice of property(shaped like a peice of pie) be divided into two parts by a straight fence sarting at the corner of the wedge. this dividing fence must be built sucht if the east to west fence and the north to south fence are constructed from any point on it, the resulting regions touching the corner of the wedge have equal areas. your task is to desgin the fence and set out staekes for its builders.
 
i dont even know i tried several things like adding the two angles and then tring to to find the average and see if that would work and it didn't
 
If it's a pie-wedge, then you won't be getting two triangles. At least one of the pieces will have a curvy bit.

when the north-to-south and the west-toeast line meet the cout the two triangle and make them triangles. using a graph is good. making a triangle and then cutting it in two.them making a line that is y= and then a x= and where they meet that makes the two triangles
 
here is how you can draw it yourself

draw a graph 0<y<5 and the X is 0<x<5
then pick two angles for example 65 and 30 they (do not have to be
exact) then in the middle of the two angles draw another angle making it kind of even betweent the two other angles. then draw a horizontal line for ex. at y=3 then on the x-axis draw a veticle line at three(it does not have to be these numbers it can be any number) the two triangles that are made with the two first triangles and then verticle and horizontal lines are the two triangle that the area have to be equal
