1 bonanova Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Spoiler The explanation is that the large shapes are not triangles. They are pentagons. The slope of the blue triangles is 5/2 while that of the green triangles is 7/3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Buddyboy3000 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Spoiler The two triangles have different slopes, as Bonova said. The blue triangles have a slope of 5/2 (2.5), while the green triangles have a slope of 7/3 (2 and 1/3) The first triangle on the left is tilting inward. The one on the right is tilting outward. This difference is what causes the two missing squares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
