This is part of the reason I flunked Calculus three times

...is the point that neither of those overall shapes is actually a triangle?
Visually, look at the slope of the upward red section -- rise over run is 3/8 or 0.375... the upward green section is 2/5 or 0.400. It's not the same. The lower "triangle" bulges out, the upper caves in, and teh net difference is the square by which they differ. |

If you ever wanted to bait a Quiksand, all you need is a puzzle similar to the above. I think his wife used a similar puzzle to originally snag him.

When you're stranded on a desert island and need to calculate the area under a curve, what's going to bail you out? Geometry?
