Correct answer (B;C) Solution The target shape is a composite of a square base and a triangular top. 1. Option (B) : Contains 4 triangles and 1 square. The 4 triangles can be assembled to form a larger triangle, which when placed on top of the square, forms the target shape. 2. Option (C) : Contains 1 square, 1 trapezoid, and 2 triangles. The trapezoid and the 2 triangles can be assembled to form a larger triangle, which when placed on top of the square, forms the target shape. Both groups (B) and (C) can successfully form the target shape without overlapping and using each piece exactly once. Turn this into a strength.
