Problem Statement

A polygon (not necessarily convex) on the coordinate plane is called plump if it satisfies the following conditions: \bullet coordinates of vertices are integers; \bullet each side forms an angle of 00^\circ, 9090^\circ, or 4545^\circ with the abscissa axis; \bullet internal angles belong to the interval [90,270][90^\circ, 270^\circ]. Prove that if a square of each side length of a plump polygon is even, then such a polygon can be cut into several convex plump polygons.
