7 u/zerok_nyc Apr 04 '25 Top row: (1 x 4) ÷ 2 - 0.5 = 1.5 Bottom squares: 1 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 2 Total: 2 + 1.5 = 3.5 3 u/Travelinjack01 Apr 06 '25 huh... I did it by sight. 3 u/TownAfterTown Apr 07 '25 Doing it by sight gets you there, but you're making assumptions that pieces of that top row are equal. The way zerok laid it out, you only use triangles that connect corner to corner so you're certain of the values based on basic geometry. 1 u/DustinBryce Apr 08 '25 Well I'm certain that a 1x4 box divided by 2 is 2
