Chapter 1: Introduction to Math Games
Exciting news! The inaugural weekly Math Games event kicks off today at 12:00 PM GMT. We encourage you to follow and share this publication to invite more participants in the quest for mathematical excellence.
In the meantime, let's tackle a straightforward geometry challenge!
Take a moment to pause your reading, grab a pen and paper, and give the puzzle a try. Once you're ready, continue for the solution!
Here's a hint: Focus on the vertical sides on both the left and right. If you navigate along these edges from top to bottom or the other way around, you'll discover that the total distance traveled remains constant!
This leads us to conclude that the combined values in green are equal to the combined values in blue.
Thus, we can express this as:
Through this process, we will identify that:
And there you have it—the answer!
Isn't that fascinating?
