Objective In my coursework I have to work out a series of formulae to determine the total of the numbers contained in a t-shape encased in a number square after a variety of different transformations. The t-total is the sum of the numbers in the t-shape, highlighted in yellow in the below grid sample. The t-number is the number at the base of the t-shape. Highlighted in red in the right example/ or is fourteen in the example grid below. 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 31 32 33 34 35 36 Working out the T-Total In this section I am going to develop a formula to determine the t-total from the t-number that will work for any locations on any size grids. In order to work out the formula, I am going to mentally calculate the t-totals and see if I can locate a pattern in the results, which I shall place in a table I created below. I will then create a formula-t-shape...
