This exercise is designed to give some insight into the Banach−Tarski paradox. Find each of the following without using the axiom of choice.
(a) A subset of that is congruent to a proper subset of itself.
(b) A bounded subset of the plane that is congruent to a proper subset of itself.
(c) A bounded subset S of the plane such that S is the disjoint union of two nonempty sets S1and S2, and where S1and S2are both congruent to S.
