Tilted Squares' printed from http://nrich.maths.org/
It's easy to work out the areas of squares drawn on a grid if they are oriented in the
usual way:
I wonder if you can find a quick and easy method to work out the areas of tilted
squares.
Here are some squares with a tilt of 1:
See the hint for suggested ways to calculate their areas.
Notice anything special about their areas?
Can you predict the areas of other squares with a tilt of 1?
What about squares with a tilt of 2? Or 3? Or 4? Or...?
Notice anything interesting?
Can you make any conjectures about the areas of tilted squares?
Can you prove your conjectures?
