Apr 11, 2020 at 20:43 comment added Yaakov Baruch A $\sqrt{2}$ example is also achieved by a unit a square and an isosceles triangle of base and height $\sqrt{2}$, with the base centered on that of the square.
Apr 11, 2020 at 16:32 comment added user44143 One way I see to make this more tractable is to show that, if the unit square is $\{\pm\frac12, \pm\frac12\}$, then up to rotations there must be one triangle corner each with $x\le-\frac12, y\ge-\frac12;$ and with $x\ge-\frac12,y\ge\frac12;$ and with $x\ge\frac12, y\le\frac12$.

Apr 10, 2020 at 11:20 comment added Yaakov Baruch Would be interesting to know if the minimum area solutions coincide with the minimum perimeter ones... Any guess there?
Apr 10, 2020 at 11:14 comment added Yaakov Baruch are the triangle and parallelogram variables in the question, or given?
