3,365 tiles! the equation is always (x+1)^2 (squared) + 1 = Y. because y is the number of tiles and the x is whatever figure you’re on. but the figures start like #1 is a 2x2 instead of a 1x1 so 57th figure would not be 57x57 but 58x58. and then add 1 because there’s always that top left corner tile! if you appreciate my answer giving it brainliest is always appreciated!!

Let G denote the centroid of triangle ABC. If triangle ABG is equilateral with side length 2, then determine the perimeter of tr

We know from Euclidean Geometry and the properties of a centroid that GC=2GM. Now GM=sin60*GA= $\sqrt{3}$ . Hence CM=GC+GM=3* $\sqrt{3} /$ . Now, since GM is normal to AB, we have by the pythagoeran theorem that:
$AC^2=AM^2+GM^2=BM^2+GM^2=BC^2$
Hence, we calculate from this that AC^2= 28, hence AC=2* $\sqrt{7}$ =BC. Thus, the perimeter of the triangle is 2+4* $\sqrt{7}$ .
