72cm
you multiply the outside length (6cm each) by how many there are
Let's start from what we know.

Note that:

(sign of last term will be + when n is even and - when n is odd).
Sum is finite so we can split it into two sums, first

with only positive trems (squares of even numbers) and second

with negative (squares of odd numbers). So:

And now the proof.
1) n is even.
In this case, both

and

have

terms. For example if n=8 then:

Generally, there will be:

Now, calculate our sum:



So in this case we prove, that:

2) n is odd.
Here,

has more terms than

. For example if n=7 then:

So there is

terms in

,

terms in

and:

Now, we can calculate our sum:




We consider all possible n so we prove that:
X^2/y + x^2/z =
10^2/(-5) + 10^2/(-2) =
100/(-5) + 100/(-2) =
-20 - 50 =
-70
D = | -12 - 9 | = -21
d = | -2 - (-7) | = 5
d = | 25 - (-1) | = 26
I think it’s 6/8. Really sorry if I’m wrong.
