Imagine markings along each edge going from zero to twelve, with zero and twelve being at either ends of the square along both edges. With the notation being (0,0) at the bottom left corner and (12,12) at the top right:

Cut from (3,0) to (3,4).
Cut from (3,4) to (6,4).
Cut from (6,4) to (6,8).
Cut from (6,8) to (9,8).
Cut from (9,8) to (9,12).

Your pieces should look like a set of three steps, wider in one direction than the other. Shifting the one piece up and over will give you the 9x16 rectangle (with only two pieces)

Can 2 triangles make a square or a rectangle?

Yes, they can. To demonstrate this draw a square on a sheet of paper. Draw a line diagonally from one corner to the one opposite. Cut along this line and you will have two triangles. Take them apart; if you put them together again in the right way you will have a square. Put together in different ways you can make an isosceles triangle or an equilateral parallelogram. If you do the same thing beginning with a rectangle, you will be able to reassemble the triangles to form a rectangle, isosceles triangle or a (non-equilateral) parallelogram.
