Prime Rectangles for Tetrakings

Introduction

A tetraking or tetraplet is a figure made of four squares joined along edges or diagonally at corners. There are 22 tetrakings, not distinguishing reflections and rotations.

A prime rectangle for a tetraking is a rectangle that the tetraking can tile, that cannot be tiled by smaller rectangles that the tetraking can tile. Here I show known prime rectangles for the tetrakings that are not also tetrominoes. For prime rectangles for tetrominoes and other polyominoes, see Michael Reid's Rectifiable Polyomino Page.
