To [i]dissect [/i] a polygon means to divide it into several regions by cutting along finitely many line segments. For example, the diagram below shows a dissection of a hexagon into two triangles and two quadrilaterals:

An [i]integer-ratio[/i] right triangle is a right triangle whose side lengths are in an integer ratio. For example, a triangle with sides $3,4,5$ is an[i] integer-ratio[/i] right triangle, and so is a triangle with sides $\frac52 \sqrt3 ,6\sqrt3, \frac{13}{2} \sqrt3$. On the other hand, the right triangle with sides$ \sqrt2 ,\sqrt5, \sqrt7$ is not an [i]integer-ratio[/i] right triangle. Determine, with proof, all integers $n$ for which it is possible to completely [i]dissect [/i] a regular $n$-sided polygon into [i]integer-ratio[/i] right triangles.

Let $S$ be a square with sides length $100$. Let $L$ be a path within $S$ which does not meet itself and which is composed of line segments $A_0A_1,A_1A_2,A_2A_3,\ldots,A_{n-1}A_n$ with $A_0=A_n$.

There are $n$ red sticks and $n$ blue sticks. The sticks of each colour have the same total length, and can be used to construct an $n$-gon. We wish to repaint one stick of each colour in the other colour so that the sticks of each colour can still be used to construct an $n$-gon. Is this always possible if
(a) $n = 3$,
(b) $n > 3$ ?
