Problem Statement

The square ABCDABCD has to be decomposed into nn triangles (which are not overlapping) and which have all angles acute. Find the smallest integer nn for which there exist a solution of that problem and for such nn construct at least one decomposition. Answer whether it is possible to ask moreover that (at least) one of these triangles has the perimeter less than an arbitrarily given positive number.
