– How Does The Extra Square Triangle Work?

496 viewsMathematicsOther

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.

The shapes in the illusion are not true triangles, because the longest side/hypotenuse is slightly curved. The “triangle” with the missing square curves outward more than the other shape, meaning the missing space’s material is instead spread out across the rest of the triangle, making it slightly thicker.
