    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...

    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...
