Let's assume the triangle has points A, B, and C.
Method 1 (3 lines)
Draw two lines across the triangle parallel to line segment AB. Now you have two trapezoids and one triangle. Draw another line from C to the any point on the closest of the two lines you just drew, splitting the triangle into two more triangles.
Method 2 (2 lines)
Draw one line across the triangle parallel to line segment AB. Now you have one trapezoid and one triangle. Draw a second line that passes through C and is perpendicular to AB, splitting the trapezoid into two trapezoids and the triangle into 2 triangles.
Method 3 (3 lines)
Draw one line from point C to any point on line segment AB. Then draw a line parallel to AC and one parallel to BC, but don't let them cross the line you just drew.

How do you divide a square into 2 triangles and 2 trapezoids?
By cutting through its diagonal and cutting off each corner parallel to its diagonal which will leave you with 2 triangles and 2 trapezoids.
How do you divide a triangle to make 2 triangles and 1 pentagon?
By cutting off two of its corners which will leave you with 2 triangles and 1 pentagon.
How do you divide a triangle into congruent triangles?
The following is a simple way to divided any triangle into n^2 congruent triangles (n > 1):Divide each side of the triangle into n equal parts,Select a pair of lines and join pairs of the above division marks with lines which will be parallel to the third side.Repeat step 2 with the other two pair of lines.
Are all acute triangles isosceles triangles?
No because a triangle is only an isosceles triangle when it has 2 equal sides
