Triangle Puzzle

The two figures shown below are divided into four parts. The upper figure has two triangles, A and B, and two L-shaped areas, C and D. The lower figure has the same four parts arranged in a different order. Both figures have a width of 13 and a height of 8. However there is also a 1-by-1 hole in the lower figure. Where did the extra space come from?
