In a 12 by 9 rectangle you carve out a rectangle of size 8 by x where x has to be determined. The remainder will be piece A and another one identical will be piece B. If you put them together you can get a 16 by 9 rectangle with a hole in it, or a 12 by (9+9-x) rectangle, with a hole in it. Let's choose x= 6 and look at the holes. On one case it's a 3 by 8 rectangle, and in the other it's a 6 by 4 rectangle. So with 2 rectangles of size 3 by 4, you are done.
