where a and b are not equal.

Examples:

Length of each leaf is equal to 3.

 

Length of longest leaf is equal to 3.

 

Length of each leaf is equal to 6.

 

Length of each leaf is equal to 15.

 

Length of each leaf is equal to 5.

 

From investigating these representative examples and other examples not included on this page, I conclude that the length of a leaf (or the longest leaf) is determined by .
