Question
What is the area of Shape A as compared to Shape G? Is it twice as big? Four times as big? [Hint: In the tangram pieces, by placing the shapes over each other, we can find out that Shapes A and B have the same area, and Shapes C and E have the same area. You would have also figured out that Shape D can be exactly covered using Shapes C and E, which means Shape D has twice the area of Shape C or Shape E, etc.]
Answer

Shape A has twice the area of shape G.
