Question

I must divide a block-letter shaped L diagram of a piece of land into four lots that are the same size and shape. The perimeter has one number next to each of the 6 sides. The numbers are (clockwise, beginning at the top) 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2. Can you help me figure this out please? I tried for hours. Thank you.

Answer 1

Reasoning:
Total area=3
No. of figures=4
Size of each figure = 3/4
So,
try four L-shaped figures, of width .5,.5,.5,.5,1,1, and area=3/4.
The concave vertex of one of the small L-shaped figure coincides with the concave vertex of the large L-figure. The rest should be evident.
Basically, you chop off 1/4 from each of the three squares to make an L-shaped figure.
