Squaring the rectangle
On the left, a rectangle is given and the challenge is to construct a square to the right of it that has an equal area and sharing a common vertex with the rectangle. The construction must be...
Straight Line
A straight line is shown with the x and y axis intercepts shown. A point P is marked on the line but the coordinates are not given. P is then joined back to the origin, splitting the triangle into two parts. The challenge is to find the area of...
Straight line and circle
In this resource students are challenged to determine the equation of the line that goes through a given coordinate point and is also tangential to a circle centred on the origin. The final step is to determine the radius of the circle.
The solution involves determining the gradient of the tangent and also...
Strange Guys
Two verticals masts on a horizontal base have ropes tethered to each other’s base. The challenge is to find the height at which the ropes cross. When working on numerical examples, it becomes...
