I can’t put an image, but I’m talking about that one thing where you have multiple bits that make up a triangle, but if you rearrange them you get the same sized triangle, but with a square now missing.
In: Mathematics
The original triangle and/or the new triangle is not really a triangle. Two of the sides are straight lines, but the third side either bulges in or bulges out depending on how you arrange the pieces. The difference is subtle, but enough to make up the area of the square when it’s spread out over the entire side.
