Growing Shapes Aim My aim is to investigate and explain the growth of congruent shapes by using different methods. I am going to try and find out the formulae for the following in this order: * Length * Perimeter * Area * Number of shapes * Number of Lines (inner, outer) * Number of shapes added * Number of vertices At the end of my investigation I am going to look at my results for both squares and triangles and compare them to see if they have anything in common or are similar in any way. I also hope to extend my coursework and look at 3D shapes or other shapes such as pentagons, hexagons etc... I am going to work systematically and look to spot any patterns, and in the end, establish an algebraic formula for all things listed above. The patterns for squares are as follows 1 2 3 4 The patterns for triangles are as follows 1 2...
