Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle and the three lines marked with arrows in the diagram are parallel. If the perpendicular distances between the parallel lines are 1 unit and 2 units then calculate the length of the sides of the triangle. Suppose the distances between the parallel lines are a units and b units then what is the length of the sides of the triangle?
Take any pair of two digit numbers x=ab and y=cd where, without loss of generality, ab > cd . Form two 4 digit numbers r=abcd and s=cdab and calculate: {r^2 - s^2} /{x^2 - y^2}.
