Sandor's Parallelogram
An optical illusion is a visually perceived image that is deceptive or misleading.
Look at lines A and B. Which one is bigger? They are actually the same size. This is because the size of objects is sometimes distorted based on the context in which they are seen.

| If you look at it without the parallelogram, you can easily see that they are the same sise, I love it . |

| Geometry is catching up with me.  I liked it. I dont wanna sound like a math geek  but it has something to do with the angle at which it's seen.  mind boggling |

| Are you sure about the 'there the same part'? I measured them, and according to my ruler, and sevaral people armed with other rulers, they're not. |

| its true, but it doesnt make any senese. you know, all the geometry you learn, one side of that triangle is the same, and the adjacent side on b is longer than the one on a, so the hypotenuse of b is supposed to longer...i dunno. confuzing |

That's because these lines making triangles are NOT RIGHT TRIANGLES. The Pythagorean theorem only works on right triangles, and so does not apply here. |
