Hey Einsteins?

The Missing Square

This is a famous problem that has perplexed the minds of many for years.

Try this Einsteins....

In the second triangle, where does the extra square come from?


ANSWER:
The extra square results from the assumption that the hypotenuses of the two smaller triangles are in an exact straight line. The discrepancy amounts to about three percent of the large triangle's area.

Not so smart afterall....
