mr2mk1g 10 #6 August 13, 2004 The red and green triangles do not have the same angles - they don't form a straight line down the length of the hypotenuse in the large triangle formed in the first pic. In the first pic the hypotenuse is concave. In the second as the shapes are reversed the line is convex. The difference in area between the concave and convex lines created by the two hypotenuses is equal to one square on the grid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
