100 POINTSSSS!! I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP! so like help? i am struggling with the part where i make an equation for the blocks. i have a few more problems like this to do, so please give me a full explanation of how you solved it. thank you!!

We can see in each figure, the number of rows matches the figure amount. For example, figure 1 has 1 row, figure 2 has 2 rows, figure 3 has 3 rows, etc. Another thing we can see is that one block gets added to each column in every figure. If we count starting from 3 and keep adding 1 for each column, we get 22 blocks for one column. In figure 20, there will be 20 rows and 22 columns. We also have to keep in mind that they add 2 extra blocks at the top and bottom that stick out like the ones shown. In total, figure 20 will consist of 442 blocks.

Question 4:

[(2 + f) * (f)] + 2 = b

(2 + f) represents the number of blocks in each column.

(f) represents the number of blocks in each row.

2 represents the two extra blocks in each figure.

Note that f in this equation equals the number of the figure. For example, figure 3 is f = 3

We can test our equation with figure three.

[(2 + f) * (f)] + 2 = b

We have figure three so f = 3. Substitute and solve.

[(2 + 3) * (3)] + 2 = b

[5 * 3] + 2 = b

15 + 2 = b

17 = b

In the example, the number of blocks is 17. Therefore, this equation works for any figure.

Best of Luck!

Answer:

We will see that the number of rows in each figure corresponds to the figure amount. Figure 1 has one row, figure 2 has two rows, figure 3 has three rows, and so on. Another thing we can see is that in each diagram, one block is attached to each column. We get 22 blocks for one column if we count from 3 and keep adding 1 for each column. There will be 20 rows and 22 columns in Figure 20. We must also remember that they add two additional blocks at the top and bottom that protrude like the ones shown. Figure 20 will have a limit of 442 blocks.

4th question:

[(2 + f) * (f)] [(2 + f) * (f)] [(2 + f) 2 + 1 = b

The number of blocks in each column is represented by (2 + f).

The number of blocks in each row is represented by (f).
