Can someone please explain this.

It's hardly any mystery if you've taken calculus.

[Marc Summers]

The slope of the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 3/8, or .375
The slope of the diagonal on the trapezoid (the longest side) is 2/5, or .4

This would NOT line up into a perfect rectangle, and as a matter of fact, if you look at the finished rectangle, you can barely see little misalignments on the corners and edges between the shapes. The fact that the slopes of the two edges I described are so close makes the difference on the diagram hardly noticable, but those tiny little differences are spread all over the whole "rectangle" to make it look like it could be counted as one.

THERE IS A GOD THE SCIENTISTS HAVE ALL BEEN LYING TO YOU SPITTY SLURPY IS THE HAND OF JESUS AND THE MOONWALK IS A DEVINE INSTRUMENT OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ANGELS.

Explained and explained.

Did the baby jesus you have on your front window tell you that too? I thought it was just mine :/

Thank's Marc.

I actually, before checking this post, made a paper copy of the square and cut it myself and re-assembled it.

I saw that the triangles did not quite fit but I simply ignored that as a human error, because had to make the grid myself. I figured I had messed up a line or cut wrong some where.
