28662 is the sum of three sets of twin primes; each prime squared; two ways; each prime distinct [17^2 + 19^2] + [59^2 + 61^2] + [101^2 + 103^2] = 28662 [29^2 + 31^2] + [41^2 + 43^2] + [107^2 + 109^2] = 28662 #NumberTheory #RecreationalMath #Mathematics #Primes #TwinPrimes

Elementary. The rectangle is split into 10 squares. If 1 cm² is unshaded, what is the total area of the rectangle?

We math teachers need to engage in authentic problem-solving of our own. We’ve got to embrace mathematics beyond the textbook mathematics we teach daily. #RecreationalMath #iTeachMath #MathSky

The May 8 problem is one of a few this month involving "petals" created by overlapping arcs of circles. Try this fun #geometry problem & tell us how you thought about it. #ProblemSolving #RecreationalMath #MTBoS #iTeachMath Check out the whole calendar at link above ^^

Lovely! Right triangle using radius to point of tangency. x = radius of quarter circle r = radius of semicircle Pythagorean theorem r^2 + 5^2 = (x + r)^2 r^2 + 25 = x^2 + 2xr + r^2 25 = x^2 + 2xr Which is the area of the rectangle 😉 #RecreationalMath

Right triangle using radius to point of tangency.
x = radius of quarter circle
r = radius of semicircle 
Pythagorean theorem 
r^2 + 5^2 = (x + r)^2
r^2 + 25 = x^2 + 2xr + r^2
25 = x^2 + 2xr
Which is the area of the rectangle 😉

I didn’t use an elegant solution strategy, but at least it worked. #RecreationalMath
