Anyway, anyone can explain how is this possible?

How is this possible?
Some asked me to talk about the second part of the story i shared yesterday. I wanted to do it but my right eye is having a slight infection now so I can't really blog today. Tomorrow perhaps.

The partitions are not the same, if you look carefully. :)
Yellow
Top row 5 square
Bottom row 2 square
Green
Top row 3 square
Bottom row 5 square
5 (top yellow) + 3 (top green) = 8
2 (bottom yellow) + 5 (bottom green) = 7
that's the missing square you have there.
the hypotenuse is not straight.

The area of both the triangles is 32.5 unit square if you actually counted using the simple triangular formula we learnt in primary school.
But the area of both triangle is 32unit square if you actually counted the unit one by one.
The missing 0.5 unit of both triangles add up to 1 unit which is the missing one.
Err...I just simply hantam only with my rusty knowledge of triangles. Hehehe!!!
after reading anon@11:45's answer, yeah, the hypotenuse is indeed not straight!
Get well soon zewt. Sleep well and rest well ya.
Rest that eye of yours.
Blog only when the infection is gone.
God Bless!
*faint*
2 quiz in one day
betahan..too early!! i wan sleep!!! =P
Something to do with maths and physic.. sad to say that I've lost my basic knowledge in it.
Hope that someone have solve your prob...
:)
hmm..it looks like you need to do some math calculations or some physics tingy to noe why is it like tat..
sadly..my maths can go n throw in the dustbin already n i dun study physics in skool last time..so i guess..im waiting for some einstein to solve the matter then i'll noe the reason! lolz...
neway, take care of ur eye oh..wat happen? see sumting tat u shud not see? lolz..:P
Lays - Am afraid i still cant see the difference. anyone else can put it in a better manner?
anon @ 11.45pm - wow... i really need to re-visit my maths. i shall check out that site in a while.
clare - that is a very cool explanation. honestly, i dont have an answer.
kyh - is hypotenuse the longest side of the triangle? i really need to re-visit my maths.
Doreen - thanks doreen.
Jemima - well, will do.
Huei - hmm.. where is the other one?
curryegg - i think the comments above did. i have yet to understand it though.
missironic - hahaha... if i did see something i shouldnt see... then it's worth it. but this is not worth it.
man, i'm no einstein. heh.
huh? this one got to do do with math? and i thought its...
if thing is in order don't tinker with it
~~~ beer anyone
Is your eye all well? :) Take care.
not only your eyes are affected with infection, i think mine too! how come got one extra box?
shall come back later to see if there is any einstien out there who could explain :)
The triangle problem is the exact way how the country cheat on all government building contracting. A slight few "cm" can make different of few millions ringgit resources disappearance.
hmmm...
why not we just color the white space yellow and everyone can go to sleep tonight?
Hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle (one of the angles is 90 degrees), and is the side that's opposite to the right angle.
Let's say a & b = 2 sides of the triangle, while c = hypotenuse,
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
(the above equation already proves that c is indeed longer than a or b)
---> c = sq.root of (a^2 + b^2)
*brain explodes*
I saw stars reading all the answers... too much maths, even for a former engineer here, hehe. But I loved moo_t's response... that's sure thinking out of the box! :D
kekeke..i think it's about maths, calculations!
sometimes, even tho everything fits like it supposed to be, but with one mistake in arrangement, there is a hole....
life is empty without God...tho everything is going on perfect well, and etc...without God in it...there is a hole and it wont be complete!
aha...my way of seeing it...ekeke...
blessed christmas!
alan zed - neither am i... hehe.
beeranyone - hahaha... with a few more beer... u might just make it!
B@byLor - still got a bit of pus but feeling much better :)
Sunshine - someone already did and i think i understand... i think.
moo_t - hahaha... amazing ... amazing... looks like there are a few einstein in the govt.
ahjohn - hahaha... that's cheating!
kyh - thanks for the refresher course. yeah... based on that formula... the hypoteneus is not right. it's not a perfect triangle.
ireneQ - hahahaha... !!
Kenny Mah - yeah, that was quite a comment. means govt has got a few einsteins.
l y n n w e i - blessed christmas to you... and a very nice way to see things indeed.
Fix the eye and write! i'm so waiting for the second part!
Ya know, my friend gave me this game called Mind Reader where number 0-99 are listed, each having a symbol and there's this animated crystal ball on the side. you take a digit, subtract the sum of its digits and locate the symbol of the answer. The crystal ball always gets it. Friend and I were doing all sorts of stunts when another girl passed us the game, like let's think TOGETHER and see if they get it right and so on.
but it was all math. Till u figure it out... i swear...you wouldn't wanna be in the room alone with your computer. lol
ermmm, it's possible because... all things are possible! even extra squares...
awww..u poor ting...somebody dun like u la ..tats y curse u have such an infection! lolz..:P
mandeep gill - well, i was really too tired trying to figure out things... aha... rather blog instead.
may - *pengsan*
missironic - who who who??? hehehe...
i dunno..lately did u step on anybody's tail? lolz...
We can't assume things we see. What u led us to believe is, the dark green triangle will fit perfectly the end part of the red end triangle. It does not fit under different vertical height and horizontal length,thus the difference. QED.
William Wang
Good one Zewt,
Took me a while to figure it out. The hipotenus is the longest side. Both the longest sides on both the pictures are curved differently.
In the top picture, the hipotenus is curving downwards slightly, and in the bottom pic, the hipotenus is curving upwards (making space for an empty block).
Need proof? Take the orange block in the bottom picture. It starts 5 blocks from the left of the big triangle, and it is exactly 2 blocks high.
Now look at the same spot on the top picture, 5 blocks from the left and it isnt 2 bocks high! So the straight line is definately a curve, and both curves differently!
william wang is right
missironic - not that i am aware of.
anon aka williang wang - now that you've mentioned...
russ - yeah... someone pointed out. i guess they dont call u guys engineer for nothing :)
anon @ 12.34am - agreed.
