### Of All the Areas

Can you find a general rule for finding the areas of equilateral triangles drawn on an isometric grid?

### LOGO Challenge 5 - Patch

Using LOGO, can you construct elegant procedures that will draw this family of 'floor coverings'?

### LOGO Challenge 6 - Triangles and Stars

Recreating the designs in this challenge requires you to break a problem down into manageable chunks and use the relationships between triangles and hexagons. An exercise in detail and elegance.

# Angle of Overlap

##### Stage: 3 and 4 Short Challenge Level:

$\angle CBE = (180-75-60)^{\circ} = 45 ^{\circ}$
$\angle DEB= (180-65-60)^{\circ}= 55 ^{\circ}$
$\angle GHB= (45+55)^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}$ (exterior angle of a triangle)
$\angle HGC = (100-60)^{\circ} = 40^{\circ}$ (exterior angle of a triangle)
