Marion Walter's theorem states that
the area of the central hexagonal region HIJKLO determined by
trisection of each side of a triangle ABC and connecting the
corresponding points with the opposite vertex is given by 1/10
the area of the original triangle.

dynamically in order to test and prove (or disproved)
conjectures and gain mathematical insight that is less
readily available with static drawings by hand.
