Has anybody ever used those shape tiles before? Well, then, you'll know what I mean.

Now let's say that the green triangle gets a value of 1 unit. It would be very simple to figure out the value of the other shapes.

But the question is, if the red trapezoid gets a value of 18,953 units, then what is the value fo the other shapes?

This makes no sense. I don't understand it. What other shapes? And it dependes on the size I think. I'm all confused.

All right, I'll try to show you the size.

Triangle: Equilateral triangle

Square: Sides are as long as the sides of the triangle.

Rhombus: Sides are as long as the sides of the triangle. 1 rhombus covers 2/3 of the trapezoid.

Parallelogram: Sides are as long as the sides of the triangle. 1/2 of parallelogram covers 1/2 of triangle.

Trapezoid: 3 sides are as long as the sides of the triangle; the other side is as long as the sides of 2 triangles. 1 trapezoid covers 1/2 of hexagon.

Hexagon: Normal hexagon. Sides are as long as the sides of the triangle.

There is one shape that I don't understand. That is the parallelogram. How many of sides are as long as a side of the triangle, all of them or just some of them, and how the hell is half of this supposed to take up half of the triangle?

Also, it seems that the value of the triangle comes out to be 1/3 of the specified value of the trapezoid,18,953, which comes out as 6,317 and 2/3. I would assume that a problem like this should have all integer answers. Also, you didn't mention whether or not the color of the shape had any influence on the value or only the area of the shape affected it. So I'm wondering. Did you actually think this out or did you just shit it out of your ass and ask us to solve it.
