The reason for the extra space comes from the fact that while the hypotenuses of the red and green triangles appear to form one continuous line, they are actually slightly different. Since the slopes of the two triangles are not exactly the same (3/8 or .375 vs 2/5 or .4), the top triangle bows slightly inward while the bottom triangle bows slightly outward. The "hole" comes from this slight difference. The area under the triangles in the second picture is 16 squares (8 x 2) and the area under the triangles in the first picture is 15 (5 x 3).

How do you feed office partitons from a wall box?

If the partitions are portable, cab-tire cords can be used to feed power to the partitions. The cords must not lay on the floor and be free of people walking over them. If the partitions are permanent they have to be hard wired and this usually means being fed from the floor below or wire mold has to be used on the floor surface where the supply power crosses areas where people walk. The other way power can be brought to the partitions is through a pac pole. These poles protrude through the tee bar ceiling and pick up power from above the hanging ceiling.
