i don't think so......if the hypotenuse of the two triangles were at different angles, then you would see a deflection where they meet.
it appears the be an unbroken line to me.

you can actually see a deflection - the hypotenuse of the upper one 'bows' in a tiny bit, and the lower out a tiny bit. (you can also do the math to find the angle...)

Yeah, I'd have to agree with this. The base & height of both triangles are consistent in both arrangements. :shrug:
 
SOHCAHTOA, yo!

(the angle in question) = tan^-1(2/5) [for the green triangle]
(the angle in question) = tan^-1(3/8 [for the red triangle]

even without doing the math to find the inverse tangent, you can see that 2/5 is gonna be different than 3/8

...and they're both enclosed by the larger triangle with an angle of arctan(5/13), so all we have to do is find the angle that satisfies all 3 of those equations. :grin:

Look closer or better, measure it :wink:

Edit: beaten to it

hah, yeah!

the trick to this one is that the larger triangle isn't actually a triangle
 
I bet it's tricky in those shoes...
