    1. The document provides instructions and questions for a coordinate geometry investigation task involving finding patterns related to midpoints, gradients, lengths, and areas of triangles on a Cartesian plane. 2. Students are asked to plot points, find midpoints and their coordinates, gradients and lengths of sides, and observe patterns between the gradients of midpoints and sides and lengths of midpoints and sides. 3. Further questions involve finding the foot of perpendiculars, calculating areas of triangles using suitable methods, and writing general rules as statements based on observations of relationships between geometric properties of triangles.
