I kept the width to two squares and increased the length by one square. (see results table above). I discovered that the width increases by 10 every time the length increases by 1. The difference can be worked out for all rectangles with a width of 2 squares by using several formulas: 1. (Length - 1 x 10 = Z) 3 - 1x 10 = 20 = Z Then (Width x Z...
