Welcome to Day 1 of the Rally: Measuring Monday!
Challenge 1
Take a square with sides 8. The square is folded such that the angle A is in de middle of the side CD. Given this, what is the area of the grey triangle?
Challenge 2
A Pythagorean triangle is a right triangle that can be formed with integral sides. For example a triangle with sides of length 3, 4, and 5. What is the smallest number of matCHes needed to form simultaneously two different (non-congruent) Pythagorean triangles if we allow them to share (parts of) edges? The matCHes may not be broken in any way.

This will be done with the help of a Kahoot, which you can fill out on every moment of the day. You can find the link here.
You should fill in your own name, such that we know who the score belongs to. Note that you are only allowed to try the Kahoot once, of course. No e-mail is needed for today’s challenge.
