How is this physically possible? Is it an illusion?

Uhmm answer is:

the slopes of the triangles are different.

the slope of the green one is 2/5

the slope of the red one is 3/8

that's is the right answer (loosely)...basically, neither of the shapes are triangles...if you look closely the top &quot;triangle&quot; has a slighty concave hypoteneuse, the bottom &quot;triangle&quot; is slightly convex...the added area made by the convex triangle, is exactly on square unit, which is where the &quot;empty&quot; square comes from...
