Re: Weird geometric puzzle
What has happened is that the bottom entire triangle is larger because the
angles changed. If you look at the which grids the hypotenuse crosses in
each triangle you will see that with the bottom triangle it crosses at
slightly higher points, hence making a larger triangle and accounting for
the hole.
