perplexus.info :: Shapes : 10 triominos = 6 pentominos

10 triominos = 6 pentominos (Posted on 2010-06-16)

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
