  9. Missing square puzzle - Wikipedia

    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 θ is the angle between two opposing sides in each quadrilateral, then the ratio of the two areas is given by sec 2 θ. For θ = 5°, this is approximately 1.00765, which corresponds to a difference of about 0.8%.
