I have a right trapezoid as follows;
We have $h$, $b$ and $a$. For any $n$, I need to divide total area of trapezoid into equal parts. I have to find a general formulation for the length of $p$ points for my study. Although I try to figure out from starting from $n=2$, $n=3$,... I couldn't able to generalize the formulation. Is there any general formulation for this?

$\begingroup$it does not seems ok as follows:- 1) if area of triangles be equal i.e x=x', similarly if areas of trapezoidal sections be equal i.e y=y', that means x+y=x'+y' i.e area of rectangles be equal which is not true as ht is same for all rectangles and width varies.
2) x2^2=2 x1^2
x3^2=3 x1^2
x4^2=4 x1^2 as x4^2=x3^2+x1^2
