The Wallace–Bolyai–Gerwien theorem is a result in geometry related to the transformation of polygons. Specifically, it states that any two simple polygons of equal area can be dissected into a finite number of polygonal pieces that can be rearranged to form one another. The theorem has important implications in the study of geometric dissections, a topic that has intrigued mathematicians for centuries.
