PAPER CUTTING


You have a 5x5 piece of paper. Two diagonally opposite corners of this paper are truncated as shown in the diagram below. You also have scissors. Show how to cut up the 5x5 paper into two pieces, so that the two pieces can then be interlocked to form a 6x4 rectangle.

  1. A zig zag pattern diagonally ,... starting from upper right corner can be cut .
    And then the whole piece can be shifted one down and one left to get 6X4 piece
