Solution
Trace a rectangle equal to any one of the six parts of one of the figures. Put the trace-out rectangle on the remaining parts one by one. It overlaps completely.
This shows that each all part is one-sixth of the given rectangle. In the same, we can find out in the case of the other figure.
