Take a section of the parabola with graph given by y=x^2. This is what you see if you look at face on. But what if turn so you are viewing it at a turned angle θ. Is what you see still a section of a parabola? If so, what's its equation?

Five circles in a square. The total red area is 24. What’s the total orange area?

[BristolMathsJam @BristolMathsJam]

[Catriona Agg @Cshearer41]

Four squares. What’s the shaded area?

[BristolMathsJam @BristolMathsJam]

[Catriona Agg @Cshearer41]

Four of the five squares are congruent. What’s the ratio of red to purple?

[BristolMathsJam @BristolMathsJam]

@Cshearer41 Still working on it... I was just sent this by one of our group.

[BristolMathsJam @BristolMathsJam]

Nice for a #mathsjam

[Catriona Agg @Cshearer41]

What’s the total area of these three squares?

[BristolMathsJam @BristolMathsJam]

@Cshearer41 Not yet, I'm afraid but we got the answer. I still think there's one in there somewhere.

[BristolMathsJam @BristolMathsJam]

@preetster Almost exactly what we ended up doing. That's quite a relief! 😁

[BristolMathsJam @BristolMathsJam]

A terrific puzzle with lots to keep us interested. Nice one @Cshearer41

[BristolMathsJam @BristolMathsJam]

We at #mathsjam Bristol spent a good 2 hours looking at this. We were looking for an elegant solution.
