MHB Solving the Tangram Puzzle Geometrically (No Constructions)
Solved: Since BEFD is a square and ABD is a right isosceles triangle, segments DB, BE, EF and FD are congruent. Since ABD is a right isosceles triangle AD is congruent with BD, therefore AD is congruent with FD and their sum is equal to AF. Since we now can mathematically calculate FD and AD...- squigley5

MHB Solving the Tangram Puzzle Geometrically (No Constructions)
I have looked at the threads posted by others who were working on what seems to be the same task. I have correctly determined all the lengths and angles as the task requires, however am struggling to justify the lengths geometrically, without constructing any midpoints or additional...- squigley5
