Abstract:
It is shown that an unbounded convex plane body is scissor congruent to the union of a congruent body with a finite number of arbitrary topological discs. It is proved that ’is scissor congruent to’ is an equivalence relation. Thus two unbounded convex plane bodies are scissor congruent if and only if the union of one with a finite number of topological discs is scissor congruent to the other.References
