The square $ABCD$ has to be decomposed into $n$ triangles (which are not overlapping) and which have all angles acute. Find the smallest integer $n$ for which there exist a solution of that problem and for such $n$ 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.
