Brodie's Pentagon-to-Square Dissection

A regular pentagon is cut into three pieces that can be reassembled into a parallelogram. Next, the parallelogram is dissected into a square.

(20 lines omitted)

This dissection was given by Robert Brodie (1891) and is an improvement on Busschop's pentagon-to-square dissection.
