Answer:
One piece is inches and another piece is inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let smaller piece length be
Let larger piece length be
Since total of two pieces is 43, we can write:
Also, one piece is twice as long as the other (so longer piece is definitely twice as the short piece), we can write:
<em>Substituting equation 2 into equation one, we can solve for s:</em>
<em>Thus longer piece is:</em>
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
