Here is the answer - Don't read on if you don't want to know
You are making the asumption the the green and red triangles have similar angles. This is not the case. Therefore, the hypotanuse on the big triange is not a straight line. It is slightly concave on the top one and slightly convex on th bottom one. If you don't believe me, look at the height of the green and red triangles. The green one is 5 squares long. Its heigh at this point is exactly 2 squares tall. The red one is only 1 and a bit tall at the same point. I wish you could draw on here. It would be so much easier to explain
