Err.... how? The edges are the same number of squares in both cases. Or am I being thick? (Answers on a post card in reply to that question!!)

bare in mind...Both diagrams use the exact same shapes, same size everything, no tricks. But you are not looking at a true triangle in the first diagram arrangement either. As said "Draw a straight line from the top point to the bottom left point" you will see that the two shapes there do not form a flat line, so it's not a real triangle (a real triangle has 3 sides and your looking at 4!). If a prefect best fit triangle is drawn around the both diagrams then you will see that BOTH diagrams will have the same areas of that gap exposed but in the first diagram that area is spread thinly along the non flat upper most face. That tiny slither might not look much but it is in fact the same area as the gap in the second.

Yep. I just got round to looking at it again and the angles of the two triangles are different. Then read yout post!!

Thank you.
Just to be sure I asked the experts - 22 x Year 9 Graphics pupils (13-14 years old)!
They took just two minutes to give a precise collective answer.
