How can this be true?

: O

Even weird-er.. if you add the areas of all the shapes together (assuming that each square is 1 unit) you would get an area of 32 units. However if you find the area of the entire triangle on top (as one piece), you get 32.5, the bottom? 31.5

weird

I hate you, this is going to bug the fuck out of me.

Can one of you Mathy Mathertons please answer this question now? I won’t be able to work anymore today until it is answered.

I think this: the small triangle has a ratio of 5:2, while the larger one has a ratio of 8:3. That means they can’t have the same slope. So the container is actually a 4-sided object. In the top picture the container slope caves inward slightly, and in the bottom one it bulges outward. So it’s just distribution of area, with the equality in shape being an illusion.

(ok so it looks like I’m about the fiftieth person to answer that, god damn.)

Thanks, everyone. Did I mention that I have two thumbs? Or that they’re double-jointed?

Just saying.
