MP0109: Droplet

We use 6 matchsticks to create a water droplet.

Add 2 matchsticks to divide the shape into two parts with same area.

Area of the droplet = 2 x Area of a right-angled triangles = 2 x (1×2)/2 = 2.
The square created has an area of 1, and so the remaining part has an area of 1 as well.
