Abstract
We study the dissection of a square into congruent convex polygons. Yuan \emph{et al.} [Dissecting the square into five congruent parts, Discrete Math. \textbf{339} (2016) 288-298] asked whether, if the number of tiles is a prime number , it is true that the tile must be a rectangle. We conjecture that the same conclusion still holds even if the number of tiles is an odd number . Our conjecture has been confirmed for triangles in earlier works. We prove that the conjecture holds if either the tile is a convex -gon with or it is a right-angle trapezoid.
