Maths Coursework: Equable Shapes An Equable Shape is one in which: * The Perimeter and.... * The Area Have the same numerical value. Our task is to find out what we can about these shapes. My Plan: Firstly, I will investigate equable rectangles working in scale ratios. I will investigate them calling one side "n" and the other side 1 (n: 1). For example if the scale was 3:1, I could have one side as 4, the other as 12. To find out the equable ratio lengths for "?:1" - I would input the nth term (3, 4, 5...) and the answer (after finding out the formula) would give me the length of 1 to make the shape equable! To do this, I will find out the answers (2:1, 3:1 etc.) and list the results out. I will then ask myself if there is a connection between them. I will then work on my findings to...
