As far as I can see looking at the gridlines, the second shape is occupying more space than the first, obviously because it's incorporating that extra square in the bottom line. Follow the top (hypoteneuse) line on the second triangle, and compare it with the same line on the first diagram. It doesn't follow exactly the same angle.
No doubt there's a proper technical explanation for this somewhere on t'web, but I'm definitely not a mathematician. :D

Actually, ignore that last post. It was all rubbish. It has to be the same angle, doesn't it, because it stops and starts in the same places. I dunno! :-\

Right, with Denbee that the top shape occupies more space but from there am lost but then maths and I are not friends.

Well, I don't see a difference in the angles. After printing and cutting it out and l;aying one on top the other, they still look the same.

Look at the top right point of the green triangle in the second picture, compare the position of the line to the same point on the first picture.
Likewise, the bottom left point of the green triangle in the first picture.
The difference is only slight, but you can see it.

I don't see the difference, but if there is one then OK. But enough difference to fill the empty square? Still not convinced.

Despite posting the link to the answer I find it hard to believe a whole square too :-\
