Yep!!!!!
It's a good puzzle, because it's easy to assume that the hypotenuse is straight.
Now..... should our responses be deleted so people can keep puzzling over this? Or possibly moved to a new thread called "Tips/solution to graphical riddle"?

I think it's far down enough that whoever wants to keep figuring it out won't keep scrolling.
You can put a disclaimer in red at the beginning of your post.

Well, that's the thing. If you would see that they are obviously bulging in either direction, there is no chochma there.
The point to chap is that the triangles can't be put together into a straight line.
Proof: Look at each square along the slope of figure 1. Each one will be half white/half colored.
Now follow down to the same square in figure 2.
It won't be obvious on ALL, but on some, that there is more white space in the boxes on the top figure and less white space in the corresponding boxes in the bottom figure.

All of the lines are straight; there are no curves. The hypotenuses of both smaller triangles are perfectly straight. They just don't align as one straight line across the top. They make a peak on the top figure, and a dip in the second.
