That equation isn't too bad ;> If you have a calculator. While researching I found a equation 6 lines long infact there was 3 of them. All similar too that ;l

OK. The thing is - the big triangle is not really a triangle. The smaller ones - red and green - are triangles, but the angle at the bottom left of each triangle is not the same - the red triangle's is a little narrower than the green. So, in the top picture, when you put the red triangle in the lower left corner, then the big shape really has a bit of a "dent" where the two smaller triangles meet - i.e., the line going from the lower left corner to the upper right corner is not really a straight line. And in the bottom picture, there is a bit of a "bump" where the two triangles meet. Not much, but enough to give you room to squeeze another square in there.
How do I know this - well, if you count the squares as if the big shape was really a triangle, you'll see that the area should be 1/2 of 5 (height) x 13 (width), or 32 1/2 square units. If you add up the areas of all the smaller shapes, you get 32 square units on top and 33 square units on the bottom (including the white "hole"). So, the big shape can't really be a triangle.
And to get even more pedantic, for the big shape to be a triangle, the red and green smaller triangles would have to have the same angle in their lower left corner, and if we calculate that angle, we find that they are not the same, so the line in both shapes going from lower left to upper right is not really a straight line, but a "bent" one.
Red Angle = arctangent(3/8) = 20.556 degrees
Green Angle = arctangent(2/5) = 21.801 degrees
Close, but no cigar!
Still a GREAT illusion - I'm sure it drives most people crazy!
