Perimeters of Polynominoes

If we separate all tetrominoes according to their perimeters, we would have two groups.

Flattening Cubes

We want to flatten the outer shell of a cube without tearing or stretching the surface.

Triangle Average Divider

Let’s say instead of “bisecting” the triangle, we draw a line from the top vertex to the base with a length that is the average of the remaining two sides...

Triangle Bisectors

Let’s start with a right triangle with a height of 1 unit and consider two ways of dividing it into two triangles.

Curve Stitching

Starting with a square, choose two points on the perimeter of the square to make a line, and then move both end points incrementally in the same direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) and the same distance along the perimeter of the square to make subsequent lines.
