GCSE Maths Coursework Opposite Corners I have been given the task to investigate the differences of the products of the diagonal opposite corners of a square on a 10x10 Grid with the numbers 1 to 100 to start with. I will start with a 2 x 2 square on a 10 x 10 grid and discover the rule for it, then I will progress onto a 3 x 3 square on the same grid. I will then keep on going until I eventually find the rule for any sized square on a 10 x 10 grid. 2x2 Square 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 (2 x 11) - (1 x 12) = 10 (14 x 25) - (15 x 24) = 10 (8 x 17) - (7 x 18) = 10 (20 x 29) - (19 x 30) = 10 I have discovered that the answer is always 10 I will now use algebra to see if the answer is once again 10. n n+1 n+10 n+11 (n+1)(n+10) -...
