Tiling a Chamfered Rectangle with Two Pentaboloes
Introduction
A pentabolo or pentatan
is a plane figure formed by joining five equal isosceles right triangles
at their legs or hypotenuses.
Here are the 30 pentaboloes:
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 pentaboloes, using at least one copy
of each.
