The Two Triangles Problem

Where did the extra square come from -

 

 

It is easly explained by understanding that the longest side of the triangles are not really single straight lines but are in fact two lines; in other words the shapes are not triangles at all but are four sided figures.

The top shape has an internal angle that slightly exceeds 180 degrees and the lower one slightly less than 180.
