There are two paper figures: an equilateral triangle and a rectangle. The height of rectangle is equal to the height of the triangle and the base of the rectangle is equal to the base of the triangle. Divide the triangle into three parts and the rectangle into two, using straight cuts, so that with the five pieces can be assembled, without gaps or overlays, a equilateral triangle. To assemble the figure, each part can be rotated and / or turned around.
