If the triangle is 5 units by 13 units the overall area is 32.5 units. The hypotenuse does not intersect the unit by unit grid exactly, and when the red and green triangles are switched the areas are not the inverse of each other. the yellow area is also not exactly the same in both as it's upper left corner is truncated slightly along the hypotenuse in one. Drawing the triangles accurately (on graph paper or in CAD) will show that the differences between the colored areas area exactly a single unit.

The two triangles have a slightly different slope. One is more steep than the other.

I can SEE why its different and it makes perfect sense in my head, but I could never explain it using the proper terms.

That is why everyone, including psychiatrists say I am smart, but I graduated high school with only a 1.16 GPA.

Correct...was going to post this. It tricks the eye at first but not if you look close enough to see the slight changes in the perimeter.
