COMMENTS

See the link below for a definition of the tetrakis square tiling. When a square grid cell is divided into triangles, it must be divided dexter (\) or sinister (/) according to the parity of the grid cell.

EXAMPLE

For n=3 there are 4 triaboloes. Of these, 2 conform to the tetrakis grid. Each of these 2 has a unique dissection into 6 tetrakis cells. - George Sicherman, Mar 25 2021
