Re: How can this be true?

The smaller triangle is 2x5 ie multiple 2.5 The bigger triangle is 3x8 ie 2.66. Therefore to the human eye the hypotenuse looks straight, but isnt its slightly bent. When organised one way the vertical 8 side of the big triangle pushes it out to the full 8, but the other organisation the smaller side allows a slightly less than 8 number
