A mother and father have six sons and each son has one sister. How many people are in that family?

Level 4
Quote:


[color:"orange"] Highlight the triangle to show the grid behind it [/color]
The second triangle is formed by rearranging pieces used to create the first. Yet there is a strange gap in the second triangle. Has area vanished? Explain why or why not.

1. 9
2. Same space, just arranged differently. So it leaves the gap.
3. E

2)The fucking triangles are different in size. A squared times b squared equals C sqared. Payfagorean
3)E

the smaller triangles within the triangles are different sizes, so by moving them you changed the dimentions within the triangle (the completed size). The only thing about the triangle (big one) is the hypotenuse angle is the same in the two small triangles, and the completed large triangle. so that the length of the base should equal the angle 30 degrees (it's a 30,60, 90 triangle) where the height will be the same and the hypotenuse will equal twice the height. blah blah blah I'm babbling.

I mean... what?
Im only asking about the area bro. There is a chunk of the triangle missing, so is there less area now?

1) 9
2) Neither "triangle" is a true triangle. The one with the "missing piece" bends upwards, and the "complete" one bends downwards. The second picture has a modifidied gradient of the two top triangles, the extra area fills the space created. I checked in Photoshop.
3) O (one)

Pythagorean vs Payfagorean.
Close enough.
