<h2>
Answer with explanation:</h2>
We are asked to prove by the method of mathematical induction that:

where n is a positive integer.
then we have:

Hence, the result is true for n=1.
- Let us assume that the result is true for n=k
i.e.

- Now, we have to prove the result for n=k+1
i.e.
<u>To prove:</u> 
Let us take n=k+1
Hence, we have:

( Since, the result was true for n=k )
Hence, we have:

Also, we know that:

(
Since, for n=k+1 being a positive integer we have:
)
Hence, we have finally,

Hence, the result holds true for n=k+1
Hence, we may infer that the result is true for all n belonging to positive integer.
i.e.
where n is a positive integer.
Add 0.5 to each side so you have fabric for the seams and your new numbers are 3 ft and 4 ft
find the area by multiplying 3*4 and get 12 ft
1 yard = 3 feet
12/3= 4 yards
You would need 4 square yards of fabric
