A rectangle with sides a, b (a<b) is folded along the line that passes through the center of the rectangle in order to get the minimum area of crossing intersections: a unique rectangle exists for two solutions with equal area but different shapes - triangle and pentagon (the unique ratio of

this means: of all the fold-lines that pass through the center, find the one (or two, in the special case) that minimizes the area of the overlap. Is that right?
