A Geometry Puzzle — I Am Really Bad At These

You will not see me write about a lot of geometry puzzles for the simple fact that I am not good at them! They often require seeing the “object(s)” in question in just the right way, after which the solution generally becomes relatively easy. This is a skill I simply do not possess.

That being said, I recently came upon a version of the puzzle below and, after quite a long time, as I said I’m bad at these, I derived a solution. I’m interested to see if anyone else comes up with any others.
