In 3x5 = 5x3, we were asked to find a shape which could be covered by 5 straight triominos or 3 U pentominos. In this problem, I am asking for shapes which can be covered by either 10 straight triominos or 6 pentominos:

CASE 1: Six W pentominos	CASE 2: Six F pentominos	CASE 3: Six Z pentominoes

   445566        CDEFGH
     445566        I I I J J J

1                     A

4412553          A DDDE E E
  4225633           F F F GGGJ
  4455666           HHH  I I I J
             6                         J

 I note in Dej Mar's offering that two of his solutions have "holes" which are not to do with format.

Those that I offer have no enclosed spaces (formatting has been a bit of an issue here).
