Below is a question that involves both geometry and algebra.
How do you divide a 4 by 9 rectangle into three non-rectangular polygons which may be fitted together to form a 6 by 6 square?
I drew a few rectangles and squares but just came up short everytime.
MY WORK:
r = rectangle
s = square
Area of r = lw = 36
Area of s = side square = 36
Do I divide r by s? If so, r/s = 36/36 = 1
I have no clue. Is this correct? Help...
Do you mean...
Do you mean the given link will teach me how to solve my question?
