This Demonstration shows a dissection of two triangles with the same area and altitude
into the same set of pieces, using the fact that both can be dissected into a rectangle with area
and altitude
.

Details
The first to give a dissection of a nonequilateral triangle to a different nonequilateral triangle was Henry Taylor (1905). Lindgren (1953) observed that Taylor's dissection could be constructed using triangular strips. Namely, two copies of a triangle form a parallelogram, and copies of the parallelogram form a parallelogram strip . Two
strips intersect in a parallelogram, and half of it determines the triangle dissection.
