Answer
I think these would be the anser but I am not sure. When drawn perfectly to scale, in a CAD program for example, this "illusion" still holds true. With the base dimension of a simple 1 unit the larger triangle has a slope of (3 units)/(8 units)=.375 while the smaller has a slope of (2 units)/(5 units)=.400 which is just over 1° of difference. This produces a slight "sag" to the overall diagonal when the larger triangle is on the left and a slight bow when it is on the right. The area of this sliver of difference in fact equals the missing 1 square unit.
The hypotenuses of both the triangle have different slopes. So the overall big structure can't be considered a triangle. If considered, the hypotenuse of the overall structure is bent inside in the first figure and bent outside in the second figure covering up larger area which came from the "hole" !!!
