Problem Description:
The task is to build
two houses using the given shapes. The shapes provided are:
1. A large yellow square.
2. A blue triangle.
3. A red rectangle.
4. Two small light blue squares.
We already have one house built on the left side of the image, which consists of:
- A pink rectangle (base).
- An orange triangle (roof).
- Two green squares (windows).
Our goal is to use the remaining shapes to build a second house.

Solution Approach:
To build a second house, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the components of a typical house: a base (usually a rectangle or square), a roof (usually a triangle), and additional elements like windows or doors.
2. Use the available shapes to construct these components.
3. Ensure that the second house is distinct from the first but still resembles a house.
#### Available Shapes:
-
Large yellow square: Can be used as the base of the house.
-
Blue triangle: Can be used as the roof.
-
Red rectangle: Can be used as a door or another part of the house.
-
Two small light blue squares: Can be used as windows.
#### Building the Second House:
1.
Base: Use the
large yellow square as the base of the house.
2.
Roof: Place the
blue triangle on top of the yellow square to form the roof.
3.
Windows: Use the
two small light blue squares as windows. Place them on the yellow square (base) in a symmetrical position.
4.
Door: Use the
red rectangle as the door. Place it on the yellow square (base), likely in the center or slightly offset.

Final Configuration for the Second House:
-
Base: Large yellow square.
-
Roof: Blue triangle placed on top of the yellow square.
-
Windows: Two small light blue squares placed symmetrically on the yellow square.
-
Door: Red rectangle placed on the yellow square, likely near the bottom center.

Explanation:
By using the shapes logically, we can create a second house that mirrors the structure of the first house but uses different colors and shapes. This ensures that both houses are visually distinct yet recognizable as houses.

Final Answer:
$$
\boxed{\text{Use the large yellow square as the base, the blue triangle as the roof, the two small light blue squares as windows, and the red rectangle as the door.}}
$$
