Jugdeesh Singh Maths Coursework 2003 Mrs Phull 10 Blue Aim The aim of this coursework is to investigate which shape gives the largest enclosed area for a fixed perimeter of 1000m. In the coursework I will be investigate different shapes with different number of sides to see which encloses the largest area. Three sided shape Triangle The only three sided shapes are triangle. There area depends on the length of each side. For the triangle I will be investigating which triangle with has the largest area by changing the lengths of each side and eventually getting the triangle with the largest area. Prediction: I predict that the triangle with equal sides will have the largest area. This is the equilateral triangle. First I will start by changing the length of the base. To calculate the area of the triangle I will be using the following formula 1/2 Base x Perpendicular Height E.g. 1/2 Base x Perpendicular Height (1/2 x 10m) x 15m ...
