For 1:

You need to make a right angled triangle. This is quite trippy, but note that:



For 2:



For 3:

Equation should be:



Because it's twice a number squared. So you square the number, and then double it.

Have you learned Pythagoras yet?

If you haven't then... my method fails, because you haven't learnt that yet.

are you sure it's 2n^2? if it was twice the square of a number, or twice a squared number, i would agree, but twice a number squared sounds more like(2n)^2 to me :/

It's a bit ambiguous, but when I looked at the question, I read it as a number squared, which you then doubled.
