Question

Find the number of tiles in the 57th figure. justify your answer using an algebraic expression

Answer 1

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!!
