Let $n$ be an integer greater than or equal to $3$, and let $P_n$ be the collection of all planar (simple) $n$-gons no two distinct sides of which are parallel or lie along some line. For each member $P$ of $P_n$, let $f_n(P)$ be the least cardinal a cover of $P$ by triangles formed by lines of support of sides of $P$ may have. Determine the largest value $f_n(P)$ may achieve, as $P$ runs through $P_n$.

In the isosceles triangle $ABC$ we have $AC = BC$. Let $X$ be an arbitrary point of the segment $AB$. The line parallel to $BC$ and passing through $X$ intersects the segment $AC$ in $N$, and the line parallel to $AC$ and passing through $BC$ intersects the segment $BC$ in $M$. Let $k_1$ be the circle with center $N$ and radius $NA$. Similarly, let $k_2$ be the circle with center $M$ and radius $MB$. Let $T$ be the intersection of the circles $k_1$ and $k_2$ different from $X$. Show that the angles $\angle NCM$ and $\angle NTM$ are equal.

Consider $\triangle ABC$. Choose a point $M$ on side $BC$ and let $O$ be the center of the circle passing through the vertices of $\triangle ABM$.
