Exploration

Triangle Problem: Consider the relationship between the number of triangles in each figure in the diagram below and the perimeter of each figure.

Required
20

Triangle Problem:

Represent this relationship with a table and a graph.

1) Use the table to show the relationship between the number of triangles and the perimeter of the shape created.

2) Use the table data to create a graph of the data.

3) Use the data to make predictions

For instance 1 triangle has a perimeter of 10, so the a point will placed (1,10)
