...but how can re-arranging the blocks of the same size produce a shape that's the same as the first one but with a 1cm block missing?
Surely if you're using the same blocks to form the same shape, then you can't have just lost some surface area?

I know, I know XD (Well, I think I do, one of the maths teachers in my school showed me this)
The hypotenuse of the red triangle (and maybe the green) isn't a straight line, it curves inwards slightly. *Hopes a fool was not just made of herself* --------------------  My avatar is me, in a school project ('The Ringlett') |

Good Work!
The answer is because it's not a triangle  The green triangle is slightly steeper than the red Red triangle 3 high, 8 wide = 3/8 = .375 Green triangle 2 high, 5 wide = 2/5 = .400 Difference = .25 -------------------- |
