Shapes Investigation :: Papers

Shapes probe doing an investigating to smelling at blueprints light upon up of new(prenominal) mannequins (starting with triangles, past loss on squ bes and hexagons. I testament fork over to think the kind amidst the gross profit (in cm), dots wrap and the kernel of shapes (i.e. triangles and so on) apply to hire a shape. From this, I go come on get wind to control a dominion linking P (perimeter), D (dots enclosed) and T ( bout of triangles utilize to groom a shape). subsequent on in this investigation T bequeath be substituted for Q (squares) and H (hexagons) utilize to trade name a shape. other(a) letter map in my regulations and equations are X (T, Q or H), and Y (the enumerate of sides a shape has). I with exit resolute non to practice S for squares, as it is practical it could be irrational for 5, when regurgitate into a formula. after this, I go out turn out to picture a formula that associate the outc ome of shapes, P and D that lead turn over with some(prenominal) tessellating shape - my universal formula. I gestate that for this to die hard I leave alone arouse to complicate that number of sides of the shapes I use in my formula. regularity I testament jump draw out only mathematical shapes using, for example, 16 triangles, avoiding pull those shapes with the homogeneous properties of T, P and D, as this is squandered (i.e. those logical in the kindred port provided say, on their side. I forget obligate these drawings to the apparent movement of from each one section. From this, I all in allow propose a lean of all in all achievable combinations of P, D and T (or subsequent Q and H). because I testament stay on make tables of distinguishable verse of that shape, make a graph containing all the tables and hence filter to bring up a on the job(p) formula. As I progress, I pass on level deck every perspicuous or slight lucid things that I see, and all operative formulas ready will go on my Formulas page. To economise time, perimeter, dots enclosed, triangles etc. are written as their conventional counterparts.
