As you may noticed, these two tables appear to have very different dimensions. In fact, the length of the green table is identical to the width of the red table. Also the length of the red table is identical to width of the green table. Quite impossible to believe, right? I attached another image to this post to show you that I was right (like I always am ;). Jump inside this post to see the proof! Very similar illusion can be found inside “relative sizes” category – “Table Tops Illusion“.

For this to be correct, you would need a birds eye view of the tables and measure them then. But good illusion.
Everyone who doesn’t beleive it needs to shut up and measure it for themselves. It is correct
well if you measure the length of a man in a photograph to be equal to the height of a mountain in the background and find them to be equal in size to be an illusion, then this one is too.
Awesomeness! <333
They are actually NOT the same dimensions. The blue line should not be going at a 90* angle on the page, but from the table’s edge, so it is not the length of the green table but in face falls short of the actual length. So even though the blue lines are the same size on the page, it should in face be longer on the green table, which it is not. The same can be said for the yellow line on the red table.
OK, break out your ruler……..this is a lie. The width is not the same as the length on either of them….. Don’t believe everything you see or read…. CHECK FOR YOURSELF!!!!
Ohhh. The same goes on the picture with the yellow and blue lines. The yellow lines are different sizes, as are the blue lines.
