ABCDE is a pentagon,now please construct a triangle APQ
,and both of them must have the same area

Re: change the shape of a pentagon into a triangle with equal area

Are we assuming this is a regular pentagon?

it may not be a regular pentagon

Well I would be inclined to split the pentagon into three triangles, you should be able to find the area of each triangle using [tex]\displaystyle \begin{align*} \frac{1}{2}ab\sin{(C)} \end{align*}[/tex] or some other method...
