A square divided in two would in fact make two right triangles. But the triangle in the picture isn't a right triangle :p |

I fail to see how this is not a right triangle then.
If all sides are 19, wouldn't that imply a right angle?
:conf:
I don't see how it can work any other way. |

In a right triangle the hypotenuse is the longest side. All sides are equal therefore it's NOT a right triangle. |
