The perimeter of a triangle is 22 cm. If one of the sides is 9 cm, find the other sides if the area of the triangle is 20.976 cm2. writes Mr Laurent, school principal.
This question looked harmless to the Happy House Mathematics Club to begin with, but as they grappled to find the answers the two dimensions required became elusive.
There ws just one student, Micheal Kombe, from Form 2 secondary, who managed to find the correct solution.
Michael is a maths whizz who earned a place on the school’s Academic Board of Fame
The board will display pieces of work that exhibit originality and creativity, artistic and scientific minds at play, ranging from essay writings in science, solving of complex mathematical problems, writing literary works like poems, compositions, short stories, among others.
As a school we say thank to Mama Sue for enabling this special Academic Board of Fame. With the passing of time and when nurtured talents will have matured, Mama’s dream of Happy Education for a Bright Future will be accomplished.
