%C A093603 A minimal dissection. The number d/2 = sqrt(Pi/sqrt(3))/2 = sqrt(Pi)/(2*3^(1/4)) gives the length of the shortest cut that bisects a unit-sided equilateral triangle. From A093602, it is plain that d^2 < 2, i.e., (d/2)^2 < 1/2 = square of the bisecting line segment parallel to the triangle's side. d/2 actually is the arc subtending the angle Pi/3 about the center of the circle with radius D/2, where D^2 = 3/d^2. Since Pi/3~1, d~D (see A093604).
