how is this possible

discuss the picture below

how is there a space missing

what are the dimensions of the triangle anyway? It's possible because the math will suggest it.

 

[AtlanticBlue99]

take 1/2 of the area of the white square and add it to B2, and subtract it from B1, you will create 2 equal pieces (both in shape and area). then the figure will be a large triangle, a small triangle and 2 equivalent irregular hexagons without a gap?

or will there be a gap of equal area of white between the figure B2 and the small triangle? it is hard to tell without a perfect grid throughout

Lemme drink about 12 more rum & cokes than I will explain the physics of the relative dementions to the 3rd power of pluto when the milkyway shines the brightest at exactly 8:37:29pm when the sun has 2 siamese solar flares that peak within the reaches of the moon and my carton of chocolate milk goes bad.... :tard

it works....its all in the shapes

no it doesnt. it is not a perfect triangle. if you look at the one with no square cut out, the "hypotenuse" bends slightly in.

same goes for the other one, where it bends out.

this is also obvious from the fact that the ratios of the sides of the 2 triangle pieces are different. for that big hypotenuse to be straight, the 2 triangles would need to be similar - which they are not. ...


the point here? it is not worth trying to 'figure' out.. since it is imposible. :tard

the 2x8 rectangle at the bottome, is made up of 16 squares, but both dark-yellow and light-green shapes take up only 15.

thats art. this is why i posted this. to get debates going.

It got my head to explode too.

hehe, but theres no debate here... lemons pics wit hthe added lines can help explain why...

the green triangle has a height to length ratio of 2/5. the red one is 3/8
2/5 != 3/8. using basic geometry, you can deduce that the angles of each triangle (aside from the one that is 90 degrees) are not the same.
so the slope of the hypotenuses, are different. which means the line isnt straight. meaning, the big picture with no gap? it is not a triangle. its a 4 sided polygon. no magic here

art, you try too hard, grab a drink :booze

one the hyp. is concave, the other the hyp is convex

thank you!!!

Yup, simple trigonometry will show that the angles of the triangles are not the same.

In an artistic sense, it is quite mind boggling.

that is true - its interesting though how the mind sees the line and 'assumes' it is straight.

False

This is the one that pisses me off.

A and B are exactly the same color. I verified it with a color counter.
