The dots in the patterns are illustrations of a sequence or progression
- The number of dots in step 10 is 84
- The number of dots in step n is (n -1)^2+ 3
From the pattern, we have:
- Step 0 = 3 dots
- Step 1 = 4 dots
- Step 2 = 7 dots
- Step 3 = 12 dots
So, we have the following pattern
When n = 10, we have:
T10 = 84
This means that, there will be 84 dots in step 10 and there will be (n -1)^2+ 3 dots in step n
