E E+1 E+2 E+3 E+4 E+5 E+6 E+7 E+8 E+9 E+10 E+11 E+12 E+13 E+14 E+15 E+16 E+17 E+18 E+19 E+20 E+21 E+22 E+23 E+24 E+25 E+26 E+27 E+28 E+29 Instead of a number in the top left hand corner I will cal it E. Then go across the rows to add 1 to the E each time. E.g. E+1. Facts o There are 11 E's in the shape. o There are 11 E's in total in the shape. o The numbers in the E add p to 75. I know that for the smallest possible E the total =86 and the E start number is 1 as it starts in the top left hand corner. : . I can say that E total = 11 x 1 (E start) + 75 = 86 Now if I move the E down I square the new start number would be 4 (E +3). So I can...
