(13*13) + (28*28) = 953
square root = 30.8706…
31cm
Answer:
1) 12
2) Yes, there could be 16 people
3) 1/2 of one segment which is 1 block or 2 skinny blocks
4) 1/12
5) 1 of 4 people -> This means that each person gets 1.5/6 pieces which is greater than 0.66/12 piece
1.5/6 = 3/12 which is greater than 0.66/12 piece
Step-by-step explanation:
5. The 5th figure will have 30 tiles.
6. The 6th figure will have 42 tiles.
7. The pattern is non-linear (quadratic).
8. The 20th figure can be made with 420 tiles.
_____
The Nth figure is made with n*(n+1) tiles. To answer question 8, you must solve
.. n(n +1) = 420
.. n^2 +n -420 = 0
.. (n +21)(n -20) = 0
.. n = 20 or -21 . . . . the negative solution is extraneous
