Challenge to Geometry Puzzle any genius to solve this!
Here’s a puzzling new discovery:
Recently a professor in MIT has put a new theory on right-angled triangles that has challenged some accepted norms in Geometry. This theory, Prof. John Mentriffe says, will revolutionize area in mathematics that deals with calculation of motion objects in space and design of the Universe.

Puzzle illusion: Missing Square by readjusting the pieces… « RamsThoughts
February 1, 2008
Hi,
I came accross this through my mail. Then I got in to your site by google. Well.
This is just a Photo Illusion. I will prove this This puzzle have no meaning if the nubers are given. Bcoz of the decimal parts of area of Each square is filled with the whole number, you may get a hole.
Give me this puzzle in numbers .. I will prove it wrong!.
This is not at all a puzzle.

This can be explained with the help of a simple linear equation
e.g. take this linear equation x+y=z, now if u multiply this equation with 2 you will have to multiply all the values in this equation with 2 in order to get it correct.
e.g. 2x+2y=2z.
In the same manner if you compare both the figures above in the second figure only 3 blocks are moved and the forth one is where it was. Hence inorder to get the triangle correct without a space left you will have to move the green block as well. When you will move all the four blocks to an appropriate position it will give you a perfect triangle.

The two big outer triangle looking things are not really triangles. You see, the slope of the red and the green triangle are different. The dark green triangle has a tangent of 2/5 = 0.4 and the red one has 3/8 = 0.375 so the acute angles of both smaller triangles are not the same.
That means the big outer triangle looking things aren’t triangles at all. It is just an optical illusion.

Here is an explanation based on corresponding angles. And the tangent of the angles not being equal.

THis is method of using area calculation method.
By calculating the segmented portion and finally ca
calculate the area of right angled triangle.We can
can see the difference.
