Post HOW this is possible!!!

Don't ask, but i's cool nonetheless.
Gonna post that on another forum :P
-
Intersting.
-
I tried to explain this problem like a hundred times to my class mates and they wouldn't believe it. It is proven that that only occures in not-perfect triangles. If you see correctly along the line of the larger side (hypotenuse sp?) you can actually see that they are diferent triangles and that the angles in the red and teal triagles are diferent.
-
The photo makes sense to me, dunno why you guys think it's so WOW...
-
Absolutely.
The red triangle is as tall as the green and orange polygons when they are stacked as show and the green triangle is the same height as the on of the polys. The photo make perfect sense.
-
I am not wow-ing. I can clearly see how rearranging those shapes could create such and end result.

Geometry 101

Even more basic. More like sixth grade geometry, Kaz.
All anyone has to do is examing the length:height ration of the triangles and *Boom* the whole thing becomes obvious. Didn't we all learn this in elementary school?

Actually no, which should tell you a lot about the education system in the UK.

Sixth grade geometry = geometry 101 :D

This is soo old and boring :)
It's no triangle, that's the problem :p
-
Oh. It's this again.
*sigh*
-
Ok, another one... are the circles moving

A bit. The snake one is far better, though.
-
hehehe Well, I do know how it's done, it's basic trig, and most people get scared when they look at hypotenuse ;) However, it's still a clever trick and I refuse to pat myself on the back for knowing the answer.
-
Alright, call me stupid, but I can't figure it out.
The rise/run of both is exactly the same, as is the area of each individual component, and yet there is a whole square less in one than in the other. It is concievable that the position of the elements could produce this discrepancy, but then the overall area would not be the same.
-
Look at the hypotenuse (the longest side), and count how many squares it goes down for across, the dark green part goes down 2 squares for going 5 across. The red part goes down 3 squares for going 8 across. If that were at the same angle as the dark green part, it would go down 3 squares for 7.5 across ;) It's not a triangle, it's a quadrangle with one single very obtuse angle in it ;)
-
holy **** open this in paint and move point a and b together and see if tis doesn't blow your mind:D (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/checkershadow.jpg)

its easy to understand once you figure it out :P anyway cool nonetheless, my art teacher used that sometime last year

Warning this will scare the piss out of you

Step 1: Stare at the above image and focus on the four dots in the center.
Step 2: Continue to stare for 45 seconds.
Step 3: Slowly find a wall in the room and look close up at it. You should see something on the wall. Try blinking a few times.
Do you see something on the wall? If this doesn't work for you at first keep trying

That was weird.

The rise over run is NOT the same.
Consider the following fact: if you use a horizontal or vertical line to slice any right triangle, the resulting smaller triangle will be congruent to the larger in all respects.
Now take the three triangles we have: red, green and the whole triangle. The green one is 3/8. The red one is 2/5. The whole triangle is 5/13. There is no way you can find a linear relationship between the rises or the runs here. If you were to take the sine or cosine of the non right angles of each of these triangles, you would discover that they do not match up--which they should, because of congruency.
So, in the end, the "hypoteneuse" of the large triangle actually bows out in one picture and bows inward in the other, at exactly the point where the red and green triangles meet.

no need debating it, just get some blocks and mess around with them. Iv done it myself.....

I have to admit - I'm not exactly overawed here.

I agree I thought it would cool to share it:)
My favorite is that last picture I posted...
I almost **it my pants I loved it so much.:D
