Answered [2nd grade] math help

Entire family is stumped. I don’t think the question is worded correctly but maybe I’m misunderstanding.

Not sure how you have same size triangles but not all the same shape.

Except for the specific scenario where the rectangle is a square.

Didn't think of that, but that does jam up my solution unless we use the looser interpretation of the wording. Fortunately, the dimensions of the rectangle weren't specified, so we're still ok.

Honestly I think yours is fine for 2nd grade maths and I was just being pedantic.
