I know the answer, but I wont spoil.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who read binary, and everyone else.
4013 is only a FAD
And 2989? Well that's just BAD

Triangles red and blue have different slopes. The slope of blue is 2/5 (0.4) and the slope of red is 3/8 (0.375). It’s very subtle and hard to see, but the hypotinuse is actually bi-linear in both pictures. In the top picture the hypotinuse angles inward then outward whereas the bottom picture it angles outward then inward. The empty space is created from the difference between the two.
Oh and btw i really love math and geometery...was my favorite subjects in school....

No i didnt google it... we had a similar problem as a final exam in my geometry test back in the 8th grade. i just happened to remeber it when i saw the pic. Oh and i always got yelled at in all my math classes cuz i would always spoil a math problem, but then all wanted me when it was time for a test.... Funny how that works.

Yes, someone else inevitably would have, but then they would have been the SPOILER.DW_ImAnArmyMan wrote:Well if i didnt say the answer then someone else would have...i was just faster...lol
Tisk, tisk, I fear you have invoked the wrath of RocketQueen. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she un-knighted you.

You can pretty easily see they're not the same if you look at point (5,2), using the leftmost corner of each triangle at (0,0). The lower triangle meets or exceeds (5,2) in the Y axis, and the upper triangle does not even reach (5,2) in the Y axis. The area difference along the hypotenuse is subtle but clear if you do a point by point comparison.
I have been considering whether I should make up an example using UnrealEd or 3DStudioMax to graphically illustrate where all the area difference actually is.
