Fair point, I used AI to quickly build the interactive widget and English isn't my native language so ofc I used it to help edit the text. I'm looking at the code right now, what did you see that was broken?

Seems fixed now. But when I posted my comment, on mobile, the triangle bisector appeared to be measuring whether you were bisecting the long leg of the triangle, very much not the area.

Yes, it was a floating point rounding issue when slicing holes. Just pushed a fix, thank you for pointing it out
