Squares and rectangles 2017-07-15
Tront pose la question :
So, there's a general rule that all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. Im trying to find a term that would describe this relationship. I've found that if all of A is B but not all B is A then I'd say that A is a subset of B, but is there a term that describes the relationship as a whole? I don't want to describe the components, I want to describe the relationship as a whole.

A block pyramid 2005-11-05
Kyle pose la question :
if i make a block pyramid and it puts a new perimeter around it every time, for example the first layer will be 1 block across (area=1), the second layer will be 3 blocks across (area=9), the third layer will be 5 blocks across (area=15),etc. The normal block pyramid. I have figured out that in order to figure out the number of blocks needed for a certain level, the equation is (2x-1)2 or (2x-1)(2x-1), where x is equal to the level. For example, on the fourth level, the equation tells you that it will have an area of 49. How would i make an equation for the total number of blocks up to the level. For example, in order to complete 1 level you need 1 block, for 2 levels you need 10 blocks, for three levels you need 35 blocks, and for 4 levels you need 84 blocks.

Squares in a rectangle 2003-10-21
Raj pose la question :

Draw a rectangle with sides of 3 and 4. Divide the sides into 3 and 4 equal parts respectively. Draw squares joining the points on the sides of the rectangle. You will have 12 small squares inside the 3 x 4 rectangle.

If you draw a diagonal of the rectangle, it will intersect 6 of the the 12 smaller squares.

Similarly, if you have a 4 x 10 rectangle, the diagonal would intersect 12 of the 40 squares inside the rectangle.

Is there an algebric equation that determines the number of squares that will be intersected by the diagonal of a rectangle?

Pythagoras & magic squares 2001-10-09
John pose la question :
My grandson became intrigued when he recently 'did' Pythagoras at elementary school. He was particularly interested in the 3-4-5 triangle, and the fact that his teacher told him there was also a 5-12-13 triangle, i.e. both right-angled triangles with whole numbers for all three sides. He noticed that the shortest sides in the two triangles were consecutive odd numbers, 3 & 5, and he asked me if other right angled triangles existed, perhaps 'built' on 7, 9, 11 and so on.

I didn't know where to start on this, but, after trying all sorts of ideas, we discovered that the centre number in a 3-order 'magic square' was 5, i.e. (1+9)/2, and that 4 was 'one less'. Since the centre number in a 5-order 'magic square' was 13 and that 12 was 'one less' he reckoned that he should test whether a 7-order square would also generate a right-angled triangle for him. He found that 7-24-25, arrived at by the above process, also worked! He tried a few more at random, and they all worked. He then asked me two questions I can't begin to answer ...

  1. Is there a right-angled triangle whose sides are whole numbers for every triangle whose shortest side is a whole odd number? and

  2. Is each triangle unique (or, as he put it, can you only have one whole-number-sided right-angled triangle for each triangle whose shortest side is an odd number)?

Difference of Squares 2001-02-22
Bruno-Pierre pose la question :
I noticed the other day that if you substract two consecutive squared positive numbers, you end up with the same result as if you add up the two numbers.

Ex. 5 and 6 (2 consecutive positive numbers)
52 = 25
62 = 36
36 - 25 = 11 (Substraction of the squared numbers)
5 + 6 = 11 (Sum of the numbers)

A more algebric view:
a2 - b2 = a + b where a and b are consecutive positive positive numbers. (b = a + 1)

I wondered if this rule had a name, and who discovered it.

Ben's observation 1999-10-28
Emily Nghiem and Ben Rose pose la question :
As a teacher at a school called Educere in Houston, I have a ninth-grade student who discovered the following shortcut last year as an eight-grader. What he noticed is that given any two consecutive integers (or n and n+1 for any rational number greater than or equal to 2), the difference between their squares was equal to the sum of the two numbers.

A sum of two squares 1999-10-08
Marksmen pose la question :
what is the smallest whole number that can be written two ways as a sum of two different perfect squares? i.e.11squared plus 3 squared is 121+ 9=130 and7 squared + 9squared=49 +81= 130. Are there any smaller? I am stumped!

A difference of squares problem. 1999-07-24
Michael and Stephanie Bixler pose la question :
If you have the equation x= n2 - m2 (ie 40= 72-32= 49-9) x must = a positive number

1) which squared numbers work as n and m
2) how does it work
3) if my teacher gave me the number for x; how could I figure out this problem

Magic Squares 1999-02-11
Katie Powell pose la question :
My name is Katie Powell. I'm in the 7th grade, taking Algebra. I live in Houston, Texas. My problem is this:

"Use the numbers 1-9 to fill in the boxes so that you get the same sum when you add vertically, horizontally or diagonally."

The boxes are formed like a tic-tac-toe -- with 9 boxes -- 3 rows and 3 columns.

Can you help?

Students and Lockers 1998-10-02
Mike pose la question :
There is a row of 1000 lockers.
There is a line of 1000 students.

Student number 1 starts at the first locker and opens all 1000. Student number 2 starts at the second locker and closes every other one. Student number 3 starts at the third locker and goes to every third one, closing the open ones and opening the closed ones. Student number 4 does the same with every fourth locker and so on down the line... After all 1000 students have gone how many lockers are open and which ones are they?

Please help! There is proboly a simple solution but we couldnt figure it out for the life of us. Please let us know how you solve it.
