Abstract

Can you decompose a regular triangle into four pieces and reassemble them to form a square? H. Dudeney performed the trick with a brass-hinged mahogany model before the Royal Society of London in 1905. We are to perform the construction under the dynamic geometry environment provided by the software Geometer's Sketchpad.
