This puzzle refers to a feature of right angle pyramid:

The relation between the three perpendicular surfaces areas and the diagonal surface area is given as - $S^2x+S^2y+S^2z = S^2d $

1. The challenge is to unfold the 3D pyramid surfaces into a 2D shape and than cut it into two pieces to be reassembled into a square. There is one specific case where unfolding will create a square with no need to cut the shape.

2. It is not possible for all pyramids (I think) - what is the condition with regard to the surfaces for this to be solved?
