You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
As the problem is presented/formulated, it does not describe the relevant figures/shapes explicitly -
- it leaves to the reader to guess what the author means.
Guessing thoughts inside the composer's head is not a Math - accordingly, this problem is not a Math problem, at all.
With such problems you better go to fortune tellers - they solve such problems better than mathematicians.
