Similar Polyaboloes Tiling a Right Trapezoidal Triabolo
A polyabolo or polytan is a plane figure
formed by joining equal isosceles right triangles along equal edges.
A few polyaboloes can form a right trapezoidal triabolo
by joining variously sized copies of themselves.
(I use the term trapezoid in its North American sense.
In the rest of the English-speaking world it is called a trapezium.)
Here I show some examples.
The tilings shown use as few tiles as I know how,
and are not necessarily unique under this condition.
If you find a tiling with fewer tiles, please write.
