Determine the total shaded area of the 'kissing triangles'.
ABCDEFGH is a 3 by 3 by 3 cube. Point P is 1/3 along AB (that is AP : PB = 1 : 2), point Q is 1/3 along GH and point R is 1/3 along ED. What is the area of the triangle PQR?
Four rods, two of length a and two of length b, are linked to form a kite. The linkage is moveable so that the angles change. What is the maximum area of the kite?
Draw all the possible distinct triangles on a 4 x 4 dotty grid.
N.B. Distinct triangles cannot be placed one over the other by translating, rotating or reflecting them.
Convince me that you have all possible triangles.
