Question 7
The diagram shows how an equilateral triangle can be cut into four pieces and
rearranged to form a square. This solution of the Haberdasher’s Puzzle is
discovered by Henry Dudeney (1857 — 1930).
If the length of the square is 19 cm and the height of the triangle is 25 cm, find
the length of the triangle, correct to the nearest whole number.
