Are we sure those shapes are identical? Two look the same, one looks to be
a reflection of the first two, and the third looks to be a different
shape. They all have the same area, but I don't think you would describe
them as the same shape.
You are correct. One of the parts is a different shape, so it is not
a solution.
If the puzzle is worded in terms of cutting a sheet of paper into four
pieces, all the same size and shape, then I think we can accept
reflections.
