First, take all the sides you already have, then add them up. (You should get 12) To find the other two sides, do some more simple addition. The 2+3+2 of the the top side add up to six (the bottom side) and sides equal each other so add another three. Total is 12+6+3=21
The answer is, 4 + 8 + 12 + 16 ... rule is 4n.
Explanation:
one square has 4 toothpicks, then you added 4 picks (because you started with zero squares).
4 squares have 12 toothpicks, then you added 8 toothpicks to pass from one square to 4 squeres.
If you follow that reasoing you get to realize that the additions are 4, 8, 12, 16.
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the slope using
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= ( -8 - 5)/( -7 - -7)
= (-8-5)/(-7+7)
= -13/0
This means the slope is undefined and the line is vertical
Vertical lines are in the form
x= constant and the constant is the x value of the points
x = -7
A square with 1,536 soldiers are not possible, i.e. the square root of 1,536 is about 39.191, which means that 1,536 is not a square a number. In order for it to be a square number, we have to round up 39.191 (because it says "how many more soldiers") to 40 and 40×40=1,600 and 1,600-1,536, so we need 64 more soldiers.
The greatest 4 digit number is simple. If the square root of 10,000 is 100, than, one can assume that because 100-1=99, the resulting answer of 99×99 is less than 10,000, meaning that is is 4 digits. 99×99=9,801.
