The first will be investigating shapes with different number of vertices, Triangles, Squares, and different polygons. The Second will be introducing algebra to make calculating the areas easier. This may only work for regular shapes, I predict that regular shapes will have biggest areas, I hope to prove this in my investigation. Finally displaying graphs and tables to verify patterns in areas and possible coherency's. I believe that the more vertices a shape has, the bigger the area, this will mean that a triangle would have the least area of the shape, and a circle will have the biggest area to my prediction. Triangle Where h= height, a = area, n = number of sides and l = length of each side. Equilateral Triangle = 48112.5243m2 Square length x width = Area 250 x 250 = 62500m2 Pentagon (Regular,...
