Related to the document Drums That Sound the Same of S. J. Chapman, he has proved those two shapes

was isopectrals.

Question : I don't know how to prove that they are not isometric (Riemannian isometry), and I didn't find out any references on the subject. Could anyone be able to prove in details that both shapes are not isometric?

Thanks!

The two vertices with acute angles are at distance $\sqrt{10}$ in the first, $\sqrt{2}$ in the second.

There are many other differences. For example, the longest edge of the first polygon has length $2$, of the second $2 \sqrt{2}$.
