&lt;div&gt;[[File:Missing Square Animation.gif|thumb|right|300px|Missing square puzzle animation]]&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;missing square puzzle&#039;&#039;&#039; is an [[optical illusion]] used in [[mathematics]] classes to help students reason about geometrical figures. It depicts two arrangements made of similar shapes in slightly different configurations. Each apparently forms a 13×5 right-angled [[triangle]], but one has a 1×1 hole in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solution==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Missing square puzzle.svg|thumb|right|200px|The missing square shown in the lower triangle, where both triangles are in a perfect grid]]&lt;br /&gt;
The key to the puzzle is the fact that neither of the 13×5 &amp;quot;triangles&amp;quot; is truly a triangle, because what appears to be the [[hypotenuse]] is bent. In other words, the &amp;quot;hypotenuse&amp;quot; does not maintain a consistent [[slope]], even though it may appear that way to the human eye. A true 13×5 triangle cannot be created from the given component parts. The four figures (the yellow, red, blue and green shapes) total 32 units of area. The apparent triangles formed from the figures are 13 units wide and 5 units tall, so it appears that the area should be &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\textstyle{S=\frac{13 \times 5}{2}=32.5}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; units. However, the blue triangle has a ratio of 5:2 (=2.5:1), while the red triangle has the ratio 8:3 (≈2.667:1), so the apparent combined [[hypotenuse]] in each figure is actually bent. So with the bent hypotenuse, the first figure actually occupies a combined 32 units, while the second figure occupies 33, including the &amp;quot;missing&amp;quot; square. The amount of bending is approximately 1/28th of a unit (1.245364267°), which is difficult to see on the diagram of this puzzle. Note the grid point where the red and blue triangles in the lower image meet (5 squares to the right and two units up from the lower left corner of the combined figure), and compare it to the same point on the other figure; the edge is slightly under the mark in the upper image, but goes through it in the lower. Overlaying the hypotenuses from both figures results in a very thin [[parallelogram]] with an area of exactly one grid square—the same area &amp;quot;missing&amp;quot; from the second figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Principle===&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Martin Gardner]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; this particular puzzle was invented by a [[New York City]] amateur magician, [[Paul Curry]], in 1953. However, the principle of a dissection paradox has been known since the start of the 16th century. The integer dimensions of the parts of the puzzle (2, 3, 5, 8, 13) are successive [[Fibonacci numbers]]. Many other geometric [[dissection puzzle]]s are based on a few simple properties of the Fibonacci sequence.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |publisher=Math World |last=Weisstein |first=Eric |title=Cassini&#039;s Identity |url=http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CassinisIdentity.html}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Sam Loyd]]&#039;s paradoxical dissection. In the &amp;quot;larger&amp;quot; rearrangement, the gaps between the figures have a combined unit square more area than their square gaps counterparts, creating an illusion that the figures there take up more space than those in the square figure. In the &amp;quot;smaller&amp;quot; rearrangement, each quadrilateral needs to overlap the triangle by an area of half a unit for its top/bottom edge to align with a grid line.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Missing square edit.gif|thumb|left|150px|A variant of Mitsunobu Matsuyama&#039;s &amp;quot;Paradox&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Mitsunobu Matsuyama&#039;s &amp;quot;Paradox&amp;quot; uses four congruent [[quadrilateral]]s and a small square, which form a larger square. When the quadrilaterals are rotated about their centers they fill the space of the small square, although the total area of the figure seems unchanged. The apparent paradox is explained by the fact that the side of the new large square is a little smaller than the original one. If &#039;&#039;a&#039;&#039; is the side of the large square and &#039;&#039;θ&#039;&#039; is the angle between two opposing sides in each quadrilateral, then the quotient between the two areas is given by sec&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;θ&#039;&#039; − 1. For &#039;&#039;θ&#039;&#039; = 5°, this is approximately 1.00765, which corresponds to a difference of about 0.8%.&lt;br /&gt;
