Solution to: Appearing Area

Once again, consider the figures below. Now note that the red and blue triangles have a different slope! (Red triangle: 2/5 = 0.4, blue triangle 3/8 = 0.375) This means that the two figures are no real triangles...

Can this be true? YES it can!

Therefore, a little bit exaggerated in the figures below, the purple area is the appearing area in the figure...

The hole comes from the purple area!
