Given Solution: The original triangle had the three points A, B and C. When you extended the two sides you marked the new endpoints, then you marked the point in the middle of the third side. So you've got 6 points marked. The construction of these numbers is shown in the figure below. We begin with a single dot: We label this point A and construct a triangle containing this point as a vertex. We place similar dots at the vertices of this triangle. We now 'scale up' the triangle by doubling the lengths of its sides: We divide this triangle into triangles of the original size, and place dots at each of these vertices. The first figure has a single 'dot', the second has 3 'dots', and the third has 6 'dots'. Note the similarity with the figures below. The first depicts the pattern illustrated in this question. The second illustrates the pattern extended one steps: The third depicts the pattern as it would appear if extended 12 steps beyond the original triangle: &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q002. Extend the two sides that meet at A by distances equal to the original lengths AC and AB and mark the endpoints of the newly extended segments. Each of the newly extended sides will have 4 marked points. Now connect the new endpoints to form a new right triangle. Mark points along the new side at the same intervals that occur on the other two sides. How many marked points are on your new triangle, and how many in the whole figure? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: There will be 10 total points marked on the new whole figure, 4 points were added to the triangle 4+6=10 confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: You added the two new endpoints when you extended the sides. You then should have marked two new points on the new third side, so that each side contains 4 points including its endpoints. Your figure will now contain 10 marked points. The construction is shown below. First we extend the two sides by a length equal to that of the original triangle: Next we join the 'free' endpoints of those new sides to form a triangle. Now we place points along the new side and join them to complete the 'small' triangles within our new figure: We have added four new dots. The figure below depicts only the 'dots', without the triangles: &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q003. Continue the process for another step-extend each side by a distance equal to the original point-to-point distance. How many points do you have in the new triangle? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: You will have 14 total points marked if you are continuing the process as in the last step confidence rating #$&*: 2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: You will add an endpoint to each newly extended side, so each of the new sides will contain 5 points. You will then have to add 3 equally spaced points to the new side, giving you a total of 13 points on the new triangle. In addition there are two marked points inside the triangle, for a total of 15 points. Click on 'Next Picture' to see the construction. The line segments along two sides of the triangle have again been extended and points marked at the ends of these segments. The new endpoints have been connected to form the third side of a larger triangle, and equally spaced points have been constructed along that side. `routine triangle4 &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): The question seemed a little confusing to me and I had to go and re-read the previous question. I assumed that you would be adding 4 more points as you did in the previous question but I did not include the point marked in the original triangle ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q004. Continue the process for one more step. How many points do you have in the new triangle? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: I’m noticing a pattern so you are going to have 21 total points marked on the new trianlge confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: You will add an endpoint to each newly extended side, so each of the new sides will contain 6 points. You will then have to add 4 equally spaced points to the new side, giving you a total of 15 points on the new triangle. There are also 5 marked points inside the triangle for a total of 21 marked points. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q005. The sequence of marked points is 3, 6, 10, 15, 21. What do expect will be the next number in this sequence? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 28 confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: The differences between these numbers are 3, 4, 5, 6. The next difference, according to this pattern, should be 7, which would make the next number 28. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q006. How can you tell, in terms of the process you used to construct these triangles, that the next number should be 7 greater? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: If you follow the pattern you are adding 1 more to the previous amount confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: When you extend the triangle again, you will add two new endpoints and each side will now have 7 points. The 7 points on the new triangle will be all of the new points. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q007. How do you know this sequence will continue in this manner? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: You are following a pattern confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: Each time you extend the triangle, each side increases by 1. All the new marked points are on the new side, so the total number of marked points will increase by 1 more than with the previous extension. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK The picture below depicts this sequence extended to the 24th number.
