A Difficult Dissection into Two Parts
A (non-isosceles) right triangle has the following extraordinary property:
It is a polygon which can be dissected into two polygons in such a
way that the two parts have the same shape as the original figure,
but differ in size from each other.
As far as I know, there is only one other polygon with this property,
namely the polygon I published in my book
"A Puzzling Journey to the Reptiles and Related
Animals". Can you find this polygon?
