3 Euclidian Algebra & Calculation
The Ancient Greeks were skilled mathematicians who devised interesting number and algebra problems which were to be solved using only a pencil, a straight edge and a pair of compasses. Numerical values were represented by straight lines of a given length.

4 If a certain line has a value of ‘1’ _____ then a line twice its length is ‘2’ __________ Lines of random (but fixed) length are used to represent unknown quantities e.g. a is _______ b is _____________

5 In the diagram below, a semi-circle is shown with centre o
In the diagram below, a semi-circle is shown with centre o. Lengths of a, x and 1 are marked, with the diameter being a + 1 and x being the perpendicular height of the semi-circle a distance of 1 unit from the circumference. What is the unknown value ‘x’ in terms of a? o
