Aim: To fit all the coloured pieces into the outline squares. (without any overlap!)
How: Click and drag to move the pieces. Rotate using the blue dots.
Hint: The green pieces go in one square and the blue piece in the other.
Done it? Congratulations! Now have a think about the areas in the puzzle.

Which is greater? The area of the blue square or the areas of the green squares added together?
