higher? of course the red is higher, it's a bigger triangle... But, that doesn't explain a thing....
blah... there should be a rule against great minds posting
PS: it's very easy to catch the trick, without measuring (Jeronimo), and trio-calculating (Mnjul).... but in order to explain it, Jeronimo couldn't do a better thing....
To "catch" it, just divide the base with the upper line of each trianlge, both should be equal (like Mnjul suggested, but he took it a step further, which wasn't realy needed btw)
5/2 (green triangle) != 8/3 (red triangle)
