Answer:

Explicit formula: s_{n}=6(2)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of squares in n^{th} layer be s_{n}

Given:

Number of squares in first layer, s_{1}=6

Number of squares in second layer, s_{2}=12

Therefore, the number of squares increases by a factor of 2.

So, it follows a geometric sequence with the first term as 6 and common ratio of 2.

For a geometric sequence, the n^{th} term with common ratio r is given as:

s_{n}=s_{1}\times r^{n-1}

Here, r=2,s_{1}=6

∴ Explicit formula: s_{n}=6(2)^{n-1}

You may recognize that ∆WYZ is a 3-4-5 right triangle. Without any work, then
  c = 5

_____
If you don't remember that a right triangle with legs 3 and 4 has a hypotenuse of 5, you can compute it using the Pythagorean theorem.
  c² = 3² + 4²
  c² = 9 + 16 = 25
  c = √25 = 5
