Umm,you don't understand

The first triangle is composed of partitions.The second is composed of the same partitions.That means that both triangles should have the same area.
But they don't because of that hole.

Easy trick!

Just look at the point where the two upper triangles are connected.
Then follow the line up and down.
You should now reckon a difference between both versions. The first one seems to go down, whilst the second one seems to move up. This is a very tiny space but it makes the difference of that area missing.
Just compare the hypotenuses. You will see the difference!
Hopefully i made myself clear.

This sounds like a job for...

TRIGONOMETRY!

I'll just get out my TI-83 and calculate the area...

TRI 1
13*.5*5=32.5 units squared

TRI 2
Congruent!

WTF!

HOWEVER!

The hypotenuse is angled differently. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I think what they are tring to say is that the bottom trianlge has a top line which is curved upwards very slightly, making just enough room for the little square missing, where as the top one is flat.

Kinda... the other line is curved downwards.... slightly.
A hypothenusis however is a line in a Triangle which lies opposite to the 90� angle. Ever heard of pythagoras?!?

Forgive me, as english is not my native language, and its very hard to make something mathematical clear, if you dont know the appropriate words.

Your talking about the Pethagorian Theorum, which is A^2+B^2=C^2

I don't think so...
If the hypotenuse of the bottom triangle would be curved to make space for the hole then it should be really visible...
This is weird.
I can't figure this one out either:

If a=b then a-b equals 0, which throws off the entire proof from that point on.
