RE: [Illusion?] A mathematical question
The angles of the green triangle and red triangle do not match;


The top-right angle of the green is Arc-Tan(5/2) and the bottom-left angle of the red one is Arc-Tan(3/8).

Arc-Tan(5/2) ~=  1.19028994968253  (rad.)
Arc-Tan(3/8) ~=  0.358770670270572 (rad.)

Arc-Tan(5/2) + Arc-Tan(3/8) =  1.5490606199531 (rad.)

1.5490606199531 rad. equals to about  88 deg. 45' - instead of a right angle, 90 deg. That's why the second picture has a "leak".







Well, I think so :p This is not likely to be the right answer.
