This investigation is an extension of Problem 59. Consider the square shown in Figure 8.35a.

Figure 8.35

Notice there are four green regions, four pink regions, four yellow regions, and four white regions. Rearrange these same pieces as shown in Figure 8.35b, and notice that now there is an extra square inch in the center. Now arrange these pieces back to their original position. . . . what happened to the extra square inch?

Data from Problem 59

Show how a spreadsheet could be used to print a table of
temperature conversions between the Fahrenheit and Celsius
scales. Your table should consist of a column showing
Celsius temperatures from 0 to 40 in steps of 5 degrees,
and a column to the right, with corresponding Fahrenheit
temperatures.
