A polyptych (/ ˈ p ɒ l ɪ p t ɪ k / POL-ip-tik; Greek: poly-"many" and ptychē "fold") is a work of art (usually a panel painting) which is divided into sections, or panels. Some definitions restrict "polyptych" to works with more than three sections: [ 1 ] a diptych is a two-part work of art; a triptych is a three-part work; a tetraptych or ...
A triptych (/ ˈ t r ɪ p t ɪ k / TRIP-tik) is a work of art (usually a panel painting) that is divided into three sections, or three carved panels that are hinged together and can be folded shut or displayed open. It is therefore a type of polyptych, the term for all multi-panel works. The middle panel is typically the largest and it is ...
The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. [4]
The problem has two parts: what aspect ratios are possible, and how many different solutions are there for a given n. [7] Frieling and Rinne had previously published a result in 1994 that states that the aspect ratio of rectangles in these dissections must be an algebraic number and that each of its conjugates must have a positive real part.

party per cross or quarterly (divided into four quarters) party per chevron (after the manner of a chevron) party per pall (divided into three parts in a Y shape) (In the above "left" and "right" are from the viewer's perspective, whereas the heraldic terms "sinister" and "dexter" are from the perspective of the person carrying the shield.)
Bicameralism is a type of legislature that is divided into two separate assemblies, chambers, or houses, known as a bicameral legislature.Bicameralism is distinguished from unicameralism, in which all members deliberate and vote as a single group.
The proof of the correctness of this construction is fairly intuitive, relying on the symmetry of the problem. The trisection of an angle (dividing it into three equal parts) cannot be achieved with the compass and ruler alone (this was first proved by Pierre Wantzel). The internal and external bisectors of an angle are perpendicular.
"Babylonian hours" divide the day and night into 24 equal hours, reckoned from the time of sunrise. [25] They are so named from the false belief of ancient authors that the Babylonians divided the day into 24 parts, beginning at sunrise. In fact, they divided the day into 12 parts (called kaspu or "double hours") or into 60 equal parts. [26]
