that's what i found out

A of deep green is (2*5)/2 = 5
A of red is (3*8)/2 = 12
A of orange is (2+5) = 7
A of green is (5+3) = 8
__________________________
32

but A of the whole one that's (5*13)/2 = 32.5 (????)

here it's the resolution (can i say that)

deep green is
a=5
and
h=2

and red is
a=8
and
h=3

5 -> 8
2 -> 3

but that's not true

(5/2)*3 = 7.5 (!!!!!!)

See, it says all the partitions are identical-meaning the partitions in the top and bottom triangles are same, only arranges differently. That's what I read.

That's what I also thought. I guess I'll print it out and then compare by actually cutting the pieces. But visually the pieces look identical.

Of course there is a way, I guess, to solve it geometrically/trigonometrically too.

No, you gotta compare reds to reds and greens to greens. The pieces of same color are identical. Check the base and heights. If they are same the hyptonuse has to be the same.
