Draw a box 3 cm wide by 4 cm long. This box has an area of 12 square centimeters (3 cm X 4 cm = 12 cm2). Or you could do 2 cm wide by 6 cm long. The shape in question has the same area as this box. If you cut out this box in cardboard, and cut out the same shape in question, from the same material, they would both have the same mass.
