The Rectangle Paradox is too complex to visualize what's going on. It is understandable for the students that the slopes do not match, therefore something is wrong, but what is wrong is hard to demonstrate with ordinary tools. The following examples, with smaller Fibonacci-number sides, demonstrate more clearly the "overlap" or "gap" situations with the "misleading" unit area. |
