Write an expression for the number of small squares in pattern n Please properly answer.
1 answer:
Answer:
(n + 2)² + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
pattern 1:
Total squares = 15
3² + 6 = 16
Pattern 2:
Total squares = 22
4² + 6
Pattern 3:
Total squares = 31
5² + 6
Looking at the series,
There is an Increment of 1 in squared integer as the pattern increases; there is also a constant integer of 6
Hence, expressing the nth pattern in the form ;
(n + a)² + b
Where n is the nth pattern ; a = (Coefficient of n² in first pattern - 1) = (3 - 1) =2 ;
b = 6
Hence, we have ;
(n + 2)² + 6

Check the picture below.
well, since the triangle is an isosceles, with twin sides and twin angles at the "base", let's check what the angle at R is, 15(7) - 31 = 74, and her twin sister at T is also 74, that means that the angle at S is 180 - 74 - 74 = 32.
