  • The reason is because the shape in the end is not a square but a rectangle. This is because the line coming down on the slanted side doesn't end on the corner of a square; it is actually 1/7th of the side of a square longer. If you calculate the length of this whole line, you see it is 5+1/7 units, and when you have moved the pieces, you get a 7 x (7+1/7) rectangle. The area is thus 35 + 1 units, exactly one unit larger than the original 7x7 square. This extra area is the empty square.

  • well if u put half of a paper on half of a waffle u can see that the square is there just eating waffle :)
