not sure

anonymous · Answer

those aren't congruent... 1 and 2 are smaller than 3 and 4

anonymous · Answer

Just for easy numbers, say the square is area 16, and the half-square is area 8, so total area is 24, and each congruent part needs area 6.

anonymous · Answer

lol  the picture shows that very clearly n vividly,,,

anonymous · Answer

@Alibeg, how long before the inspiration happens?  ;)

anonymous · Answer

well, depends on the timezone...at my place, it is 39 min after midnight so i might not get one...:D

anonymous · Answer

so an area 6 shape might be an area 4 square with a half-square of area 2 attached... Like a mini version of the original diagram.
(brainstorming only... no solution in mind yet...)
