Problem of the Week
Tuesday, May 15, 2018
Uncle Pascal builds 2 tangram puzzle sets out of wood (a set of 7 pieces is pictured below), and he sends you and your cousin Elmo sets for your birthday. Unfortunately he is confused when packaging the gifts and includes only 5 pieces in one gift and the remaining 9 pieces in another gift. You are able to build a square with your set, however your cousin Elmo is not able to build a square with his set. What pieces did you receive?
