The problem is with the angles. The dark green triangle, doesn't have the same angles as the red one.

the angles are the same, but the lengths of the horizontal bases of the triangles are different. the added length makes the vertical part of the red triangle taller.

No the angles aren't the same, the red one has an angle of about 20º as its smallest angle. The green one has 21º
