Original question: Construct any regular geometric shape that has the same area as given triangle?
...and by construct I mean, suggest steps for construction or provide general idea
My idea is application of generalized Pythagora's theorem. Euclid Elements Book VI. $31$,
I know it's possible (and how) to construct such square and equilateral triangle
Euclid Elements Book VI. $18$, $\Rightarrow$ Every (regular) polygon can be visualized as multiple triangles
You can construct any regular polygon with 3 or more sides if you know the area, A, of the triangle you are trying to construct a similar scaled geometric shape from. Using $A$, create a regular polygon with n sides of side length:
$s = \sqrt{\frac{4A\tan(\frac{180}{n})}{n}}$
and with interior angle being:
$a = 180 - \frac{360}{n}$
