you want me to step up to the board and crack this one?
Sure--- I can do that.
Notice that the slope of the red and the slope of the green are not the same. One has a rise over run of 3/8, the other has a rise over run of 2/5. That illusion of a line going up the diagonal is what is kitty-wompus. On the top one it dips down, and on the bottom it pooches up. The difference is the one square missing.
Everyone off doing something or other..LOL
Well, off to bed I go..Got through the first day of the week.
Will see how it goes from here on. Goodnight all, have a good one...
.....Westy.....
If the red had a base of 5 it would be 2/5, and a straight edge along a print out will confirm that the diagonals are perfectly straight on both triangles.
If you look at the red fifth column from the left on both diagrams the drop is exactly the same.
