Egypt’s road problem
In this resource linked to COP27 in Egypt, maths students apply pythagoras’ theorem to solving Egypt’s road building conundrum. The resource explores efficient road designs and the climate impacts of car travel then uses the context of reducing travel time for the most people, reducing the length of new roads and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from people travelling on the new roads and a real world example of the Steiner problem.
