Tiling an L Shape with a Pentomino and a Hexomino

Introduction

Here I show the smallest known L shapes, measured by area, that can be tiled with copies of a given pentomino and a given hexomino, using at least one of each. If you find a smaller solution or solve an unsolved case, please write.

Carl Schwenke and Johann Schwenke contributed new and improved tilings.

Nomenclature

These are the 12 pentominoes:

These are the 35 hexominoes:

Table

The figures give the areas of the tilings.
