Number Grid Investigation
Aim: My aim is to find out how the number of rows and columns in a
square, on a certain sized grid will affect the difference between the
product of the top left number and the bottom right number in the
square subtracted from the top right number and the bottom left
number.
Prediction: I predict that when you've got numbers in a square box in
a 10 by 10 grid, the difference will always be a square number because
the box is shaped as a square.
Method: Firstly, I'm going to work out the difference, in a 2 by 2
square in a 10 by 10 grid, between the two products that I get from
multiplying the top left number and the bottom right number in the
square by the top right number and the bottom left number. I am then
going to repeat this another 3 times but these times I will work out a
3 by 3 square, 4 by 4 square and a 5 by 5 square. After doing this, I
will try to find a formula that can find the difference in any sized
square. I will then decrease the size of the grid so that it becomes 9
by 9 and will then do exactly the same method as I did before and then
I will do this again but with a 5 by 5 grid. I will then work out
formulas for both of these grids, to find the difference. I will then
use algebra to prove that my formulas are able to work out the correct
difference. To investigate further I will do the whole investigation
again but with rectangles instead of squares.
This is a table to show the differences in squares in a 10 by 10 grid.

Step 3. Now we multiply and divide all the stuff together so first we do 48/3, which is 16. Then we multiply what is needed, in this case it is 3x7, which is 21. Are you following me so far? Excellent if not then read it over.
We can see that if we apply this formula to a 9x9 grid we can find the

For Sally I followed my luck of the 3 column T-Table, and drew another with the same guidelines. The figure, the interior pegs (in), and the area (out). After I filled in a few figures, and their properties, I noticed a pattern, and not long after, a formula, which worked for them. It was X+1=Y. This T-Table is also attached.

Areas of the following shapes were investigated: square, rectangle, kite, parallelogram, equilateral triangle, scalene triangle, isosceles triangle, right-angled triangle, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon and octagon. Results The results of the analysis are shown in Table 1 and Fig 1. Table 1 showing the areas for the different shapes formed by using the

You will need to sum down for the first four orientations and sum across some of the rows, then sum down and divide by two for the last orientation. The chart should make it clear.
The ratio for length to width of rectangles is 1.61803398874989484820. The numeric value is called “phi”.
