Puzzle Booklet - Triangle + Square = Square

These booklets are produced in Hungary by hand in limited editions; their contents are made of laser cut wood.

The goal of this uniquely designed packing puzzle is to firstly fill the smaller square and the triangle then put all the pieces into the big square!

The Hungarian mathematician Farkas Bolyai proved that any two polygons with the same area can be dissected into each other.  This puzzle beautifully shows an extension of this theorem.  Here, two polygons are dissected into one.
