To break the figure into three pieces and rearrange them to form a square, you can follow these steps:
1. Take two straight cuts along the lines provided to separate the figure into three pieces:
- Cut 1: Start from the top left corner (1) and cut vertically along the right side of the figure, ending at the bottom (5).
- Cut 2: Start from the bottom right corner (5) and cut diagonally towards the top left corner, ending at the top (1).
After making these two cuts, you will have three separate pieces.
2. To rearrange the pieces into a square, move piece 2 (234) below piece 3 (5).
The resulting arrangement will be:

234
5
Now, if you visualize these three pieces as reassembled, you'll see that they create a square.
