Geometry is Broken

06 Jan

I was staring at this one for a good half-hour. I really enjoyed this question (when I finally completed it)

Why do the extra two red squares not seem to contribute to the area of the whole triangle?

I am not going to give away the solution, but I will give you this clue: think about similar triangles. Happy mathsing.
