 Introduction
• A sequence is a set of numbers in a particular order with each number in the
sequence being derived from a particular rule.For example,consider the sequence
5,10,15,20,.... The first term is 5, the second term is 10 and the nth term is given by
5n.If the nth term is denoted by Un, then we write Un =5n for nEN,n≥1. We say that
this sequence is defined by the explicit formula Un=5n,for nEN,n≥1.
• A series divided into 2 parts which are Arithmetic Progressions(AP) and Geometric
Progressions(GP).AP is a sequence of numbers in which each term other than the
first is obtained from the preceding term by the addition of a constant called common
difference.Tn=a+(n-1)d where Tn is the nth term,a is first term and d is common
difference.GP is a sequence of numbers in which each term other thab the first is
obtained from the preceding term by multiplying with a non-zero constant called the
common ratio.Tn=ar^n-1 where Tn is the nth term,a is first term and r is common
ratio.
• The area of polygon depends on the ordering of the vertices and of the orientation of
the plane .The formula is known as A=I+(B/2)-1 ,Pick theorem.For calculating area of
polygon based on the numbers of interior and boundary grid points:the former number
• The objective of this coursework is constructed a few simple polygons on a
grid of equal-distanced points such that all polygon's formula for calculating
the area A of this polygonin terms of the number i of lattice points in the
interior located in the polygon and the number b of lattice points on the
boundary placed on the polygon's perimeter.
• The main objective is to calculate area of polygon,construct B(boundary
points) and I(interior points) formulas.
 METHODOLOGY
• There are many methods have been used to solve the problems in this coursework.
• Firstly, graph paper have been used to draw polygons based on B and I .B
(boundary points) is given 3,4,5 and 6 while I (interior points) is given 0,1,2,3 and 4.
• For example,when B is 4 and I is 2 ,the polygon drawn must be joining by 4 points
outside the polygon and 2 points inside the polygon.
• After drawing a few polygons on the graph paper,the area of polygon have to be
calculate.
• The area of polygon can be calculate by using Pick's formula ,A=I+(B/2)-1. For
example,when B=4,I=2 then the area of polygon will be A=2+(4/2)-1,A=3.
• For finding the conjecture formula for the area polygon of B ,arithmetic
progression(AP) a+(n-1)d have been used to form the conjecture formula.
• For example,when B=3,I=2, a+(n-1)d will form 2+0.5B then substitute 3 into B will
get 3.5.The area of B=3,I=2 is 2.5 ,so 3.5-1 to get 2.5.In conclude, 2+0.5B-1 will
form 0.5B+1.
• For finding the conjecture formula for the area polygon of I ,arithmetic
progression(AP) a+(n-1)d have been used to form the conjecture formula.
• For example,when B=3,I=0,a+(n-1)d will form I-0.5 then substitute 0 into I will
get -0.5.The area of B=3,I=0 is 0.5,so -0.5+1 to get 0.5.In conclude I-
0.5+1will form I+0.5.

 Conclusion
• For finding the area of B and I ,method of using is drawing on a graph paper and
the formula of Pick's formula,A=I+B/2-1 is used.
• The area for I=0 with B=3,4,5 and 6 is 0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0.
• The area for I=1 with B=3,4,5 and 6 is 1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0.
• The area for I=2 with B=3,4,5 and 6 is 2.5,3.0,3.5,4.0.
• The area for I=3 with B=3,4,5 and 6 is 3.5,4.0,4.5,5.0.
• The area for I=4 with B=3,4,5 and 6 is 4.5,5.0,5.5,6.0.
• For finding the conjecture of B and I ,arithmetic progression(AP),a+(n-1)d is used.
• The formulas of B are 1/2B-1 ,1/2B ,1/2B+1 ,1/2B+2 ,1/2B+3.
• The formulas of I are I+1/2 ,I+1 ,I+1.5 , I+2.
• Application of coursework is in the train have 125 passengers in the first
carriage,150 passengers in the second carriage and 175 passengers in the third
carriage and so on in an arithmetic sequence.
• The application in future can be used in engineering problems.For
example,calculating the perimeter and area od 2D shapes ,the volume of 2D
shapes and solving practical problems requiring calculation with common
measures.
