Stage 2 of Shape Work

With the instructions from Cole i constructed my shape in Geometers Sketchpad.
From left to right its 10cm across and from up to down its 16.6cm. Then 10cm up from the bottom a line splits across it. Once you have squared the bottom the top can be easily be repeated with this squaring technique. Its not a perfect representation of this but its the best Cole could get. The shape includes rotation and enlargement used together at the same time.
I have included how Christian and mines pieces fit together. In the end we aim for it to be about an inch thick and could be used like a puzzle.

How did you rotate (angle, centre of rotation) and enlarge (scale factor)? Don't forget to include these details please!
Great work Sam - keep it up.
Cheers,
