He told us an area of 1 square unit produces 1 shape, an area of 2 sq.units produces 1 shape, an area of 3 sq.units produces 2 different shapes, an area of four square units produces 5 different shapes, and an area od five sq.units produces 12 different shapes. He left us there. He said we had to find how many different shapes an area of 1 sq. unit produces through how many different shapes an area of 15 sq.units produces. He said we could complete this "chart" by finding an equation. But, I can't find the equation. I think it may be a quadratic of some sort. My teacher told us to use the area(in sq.units) as X and the # of different shapes produced as Y. Now, what really is stumping me is I would have to have an equation so when X is Y, Y is 1 and when X is 2, Y is 1. I have also tried to see if I can complete a patter or something.

		Shameq pose la question : Hi, I've been given a problem that I'm having some trouble with. I'd really appreciate any help. Here's the question (it's called the Pay Phone Problem) A pay phone will take only 10p, 20p, 50p, and £1 coins"(It's British). A woman has plenty of 10p and 20p coins. She has no other coins. She can put the coins into the pay phone in any order. INVESTIGATE the number of different ways, she could put the 10p and 20p coins into the pay phone. Penny Nom lui répond.
