Of course I will take neither option and let it linger in my mind for the next few days without any thorough mathematical analysis. Then again, past experience tells me that there's a high liklihood that it's one of those problems that requires a different persepective, not a thorough analysis. I'm now spending time thinking what to do, when I could simply be getting on with it!

Geogebra is more than I thghout it was. It is really cool and has more features than I had seen. I would like to learn more of this tool. Thanks. Wow. Geogebra is more than I thghout it was.
