Actually it depends on where and how you put each parts...

1. Print it out.

2. Find yourself a straight edged item (a rule, say).

3. Compare straight edge of straight edged item to the longest side on each triangle.

The hypotenuse on one is curved.

'Curved' isn't quite the right word - but yeah, that was what I was getting at in my post too...

the slopes of the hypotenuses of the trangles changes between pictures

In the bottom, they are the same. but the green is slightly steeper on the top

I don't get it.  What are you asking.  If you do not understand how that is possible, the orange is smaller than the red and the green and red sections switch places.

No, they don't.

Count the squares, the area has not changed, only the perimeter.

That is not correct - count the squares in each part in each picture - each part is identical in each picture - nothing changes other than their position.

The trick is that the larger 'triangle' (formed by all the parts together) is not a triangle.

I meant the colored squares......

Geometrically, it is possible to dramatically change the perimeter without altering the area.

example:

A 2x2 square has the same area as a 1x4 reactangle

Obviously, the drawing is more complex, but it appears that the hypotenuse is not actually a straight line, which would add area underneath when rearranged and allow for the "hole" to appear

Ah, I thought you meant 'perimeter' as in 'the distance around a given two-dimensional object'. Which in this case (well, if you ignore the 'hole') doesn't actually change.

exactly.
On the top, the hypotenuse is concave, while it is convex on the bottom, thus changing the area underneath.


And I get to say "thus"

For those of you who are geometrically challenged, here is a picture of one "triangle" superimposed over the other. See the difference?

And is what I was hinting at way back at post #6.
