Tiling a Chamfered Rectangle with Two Tetraboloes
Introduction
A tetrabolo or tetratan
is a plane figure formed by joining four equal isosceles right triangles
at their legs or hypotenuses.
Here are the 14 tetraboloes, with Erich Friedman's names:
A chamfered rectangle is a rectangular polyabolo
with its corner cells clipped diagonally.
To prevent cuts from meeting, I require the dimensions of the rectangle
to be 3 or greater.
Here I show the minimal known chamfered rectangle
that can be tiled by a pair of tetraboloes, using at least one copy
of each.
