The image you uploaded shows a set of
tangram puzzles, which are geometric dissection puzzles consisting of seven flat shapes, called tans. These shapes can be arranged to form various figures and patterns. The task appears to involve solving tangram puzzles by arranging the pieces into specific shapes.
Tangram Pieces:
Tangrams typically consist of:
1. Two large triangles
2. One medium triangle
3. Two small triangles
4. One square
5. One parallelogram
Problem in the Image:
The image shows three tangram arrangements:
1. A
Fish shape on the left.
2. A
Fox shape in the middle.
3. A colorful arrangement of all seven tangram pieces on the right.
The goal is likely to understand how these shapes are formed using the seven tangram pieces.

Solution Explanation:
#### 1.
Fish Shape (Left)
- The fish shape is composed of all seven tangram pieces.
- The two large triangles form the body and tail of the fish.
- The medium triangle and parallelogram form part of the head and fins.
- The square and two small triangles complete the details of the fish's body and fins.
#### 2.
Fox Shape (Middle)
- The fox shape is also composed of all seven tangram pieces.
- The two large triangles form the ears and part of the body.
- The medium triangle and parallelogram form the face and snout.
- The square and two small triangles complete the details of the fox's body and legs.
#### 3.
Colorful Arrangement (Right)
- This is a standard arrangement of all seven tangram pieces forming a square.
- The two large triangles are placed diagonally to form the outer corners of the square.
- The medium triangle, square, parallelogram, and two small triangles fill in the remaining space to complete the square.

General Approach to Solving Tangram Puzzles:
1.
Identify Key Shapes: Look for large or distinctive shapes in the puzzle (e.g., the ears of the fox or the tail of the fish).
2.
Place Large Pieces First: Start with the two large triangles, as they often form the main structure.
3.
Fill in Gaps: Use the smaller pieces (medium triangle, square, parallelogram, and small triangles) to fill in the remaining spaces.
4.
Rotate and Flip Pieces: Tangram pieces can be rotated or flipped to fit into different positions.

Final Answer:
The tangram puzzles in the image demonstrate how the seven pieces can be arranged to form distinct shapes like a
Fish and a
Fox, as well as a standard square arrangement. The solution involves creatively placing and rotating the pieces to match the outlines provided.
$$
\boxed{\text{The tangram pieces can be arranged to form the Fish, Fox, and square as shown.}}
