Match the Area
You see one shape and its area in cm². The game names a different kind of shape to draw — draw it so the areas match. After Check, labels show both areas on the figures and a similarity percentage in a circle at the center of the canvas.

How to Play
- 1 Each round shows a reference shape in one panel (left in landscape, top in portrait) and states its area in square centimeters (cm²). Sizes use the standard CSS pixel-to-cm mapping, so treat numbers as consistent within the game rather than a ruler on your physical screen.
- 2 You must draw a different kind of shape in the other panel — the game picks from circles, ellipses, squares, rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, regular polygons (5, 6 or 8 sides), or irregular polygons — and match that area as closely as you can.
- 3 Circle, ellipse, square, or regular polygon: press in the drawing zone, drag outward from the center (ellipse uses horizontal and vertical distances from the center).
- 4 Rectangle: press one corner, drag to the opposite corner, release.
- 5 Triangle or parallelogram: tap three vertices in order; the shape completes automatically (the fourth corner of the parallelogram is shown dashed until you finish).
- 6 Irregular polygon: tap each vertex in order until you reach the count given in the instructions.
- 7 Clear removes your drawing. Check compares areas: you get a grade, goal vs yours in cm² under the canvas, area labels on both shapes, and a similarity percentage inside a circle at the center of the board. Retry repeats the round; Next round starts a new puzzle.
