It will also result in significantly more path points in the document after all of the duplicating is done. For these reasons, it is my preference to divide and then delete the extra points. But it's just a preference; you don't have to.

The triangle should be in the foreground, after select all and create a masque d'écrêtage in Object (command 7) Sorry for my english You can used the masque d’écrêtage (I don’t know which is the name in english), it’s more easy than the lasso and the pathfinder.

In this tutorial, I'm not rotating the triangle, but reflecting it. You can access the reflect tool in the tools pallet by hitting the letter O on your keyboard, or by clicking and holding on the rotate tool until the rotate tool appears in the resulting dropdown.
