2. Translate the T-shape to different positions.

Using a grid of any size, I will investigate how the original T-number is related to the T-total of the translated T-shape. First, I will use Horizontal Translations with have 0 on the bottom vector.

Here is a table showing the results so far for the different grid sizes, t-numbers, t-totals and the vector.

From this table I can see a pattern. It shows that when you take an Original T-total (37) and add on 5 times the vector a (3) you get the final T-total. In equation form this is:
Final T-total = Original T-total + (5xMovement in Horizontal Direction)
However this equation requires us to know the T-total In advance when we only know the ...
