Another Dudeney Dissection Here we consider Dudeney's six-piece dissection of a regular pentagon into a square. The first step is to dissect the pentagon to form a parallelogram. Because we know how to dissect a parallelogram into a square, the two resulting dissections of the parallelogram are superimposed to yield pieces that can be made into a square. This process is shown in the figure. Give your own explanation of how to perform the desired dissection. Verify that it works, according to basic geometric properties.
