can you remind me — did we go over the Wallis-style product for the lemniscate constant? I don't know how it would be derived, and why it's similar to the Wallis product for pi, and if there's a similar product for all the generalizations.

With the new code, outside and inside are programmed like this:
\def\elevenGon{
(0,3) -- (-2,3) -- (-3,1) -- (-3, 0) -- (-2,-2)
-- (-1,-3) -- (1,-4) -- (3,-4) -- (4,-3) -- (4,-1)
-- (2,2) -- cycle
}
\draw[black, thick, fill=yellow, fill opacity=0.6] \elevenGon;
\draw[thick, blue, fill=green, fill opacity=0.6]
decorate[decoration=cut equilateral]
{ \elevenGon };
And yields the attached image. I can send you the updated code if you'd like!

FYI I just learned how to use the "decorations" engine in PGF to automate cutting out the equilateral triangles. Once I define that decoration, you only have to define the outside 11-gon (making sure to go counterclockwise).

one of the removed triangles is not equilateral? A typo?

I am supposed to be writing GR homework solutions today, but I'm very close to being nerd-sniped ;)

I have been getting more and more proficient at TikZ, but it's still not like a first language.

If you want to be able to customize your triangle graph paper with different sizes, colors, etc., without using a web site, then @npub188w…3emc and I have you covered! We wrote a LaTeX package named gridpapers, available at https://github.com/mcnees/LaTeX-Graph-Paper or in any LaTeX distribution since ~2022.
