Today's ✨ Strange Shaped Sunday ✨ is a Statue Park (Triangular)! I was surprised to find that there are only 4 possible shapes you can make with five orthogonally adjacent triangle cells. (pentotri? ) With four triangle cells, there are only 3 possible shapes.

Rules: Place each shape from the shape bank into the grid exactly once such that no two shapes share an edge, and all unused cells form one orthogonally connected area. Rotating and reflecting shapes is allowed. Cells containing a black circle must be used by a shape, and cells containing a white circle must not be used by a shape.

Interface note: If you're using shaded cells to mark used shapes, you will need to unshade them for answer check to work correctly.

GAPP 101: Unshaded cell connectivity is very important in this puzzle. In some places, you may need to spot one-cell wide gaps that unshaded cells need to pass through.
