# Two quadrilateral out of a hexagon

We have a hexagon shown as below with two quadrilaterals:

• Slice hexagon into two pieces and combine these pieces to find shape $a$
• Slice hexagon into three pieces and combine these pieces to find shape $b$

Note: There is no scale in the pictures as you would guess.

• Your shape a has a long side that is twice as long as its short side. Shouldn't it be 3 times as long for the 2-piece solution to work? Nov 12, 2017 at 8:59
• @JaapScherphuis which shape are you are talking about? there are 3 shapes in total.

• Shape a. Yours consists essentially of 4 equilateral triangles stuck together in a row, but it should be like 6 in a row. It should be longer than it is now. It is not a problem with the scale/size, it is a problem with the shape. Nov 12, 2017 at 9:20
• @JaapScherphuis I see, the aim was just to draw parallel quadrilateral. I understand what u meant now, I can fix it with better shapes.
