That’s cleared that up then! :lol:
I posted this a few weeks ago in jokes and links and still no one has figured it out and i dont think they will :lol:
It’s because the two triangle shapes aren’t similar. The large hypotoneuse isn’t really a straight line.

You’re right! In the bottom pic it’s a straight line, but in the top pic it kinks. 8)
It’s the colours that stop you spotting it. It actually kinks both ways. The two small triangles have different gradients. One is 2/5 and one is 3/8. The total area for the shapes is 32. One 8×3 triangle, area 12, two L shaped pieces, total area 15, one 5×2 triangle, area 5. The area of the supposed big triangle is 0.5x13x5=32.5
The half each way is down to whether the hypotoneuse is convex or concave.
