Integral said:Bit different version of a old rube.
For the created shape to be a rectangle you need to have the slopes of the red and green triangles (3/8) be equal to the slope of the angle of the other 2 shapes (2/5).
Since .4 <> .375 that is not a rectangle and you cannot get the area by multiplying sides.
The math trick involves using a specific set of numbers and following a specific set of steps to arrive at a predetermined answer. The logic behind the trick is based on basic mathematical principles and can be explained using algebraic equations.
While the "check out this incredible math trick" may seem like a simple magic trick, it is actually based on mathematical principles and can be replicated using different numbers. It is a legitimate math trick that just appears to be a trick at first glance.
Yes, anyone can do this math trick as long as they can follow the specific set of steps and have a basic understanding of mathematical operations. It does not require any advanced mathematical knowledge or skills.
The math trick is designed to work with a specific set of numbers and may not produce the desired result with other numbers. However, the same principles can be applied to different sets of numbers to achieve a similar result.
The practical application of this math trick is to demonstrate how certain mathematical principles and operations can lead to a predictable outcome. It can also be used to teach basic algebraic concepts in a fun and engaging way.
