The first three figures of a pattern are made from 1-cm squares arranged in a grid:
Figure 1: a single 1 cm × 1 cm square.
Figure 2: four 1-cm squares arranged in a 2 × 2 grid.
Figure 3: nine 1-cm squares arranged in a 3 × 3 grid.
The pattern continues so that Figure n is an n × n grid of 1-cm squares. Find the PERIMETER of Figure 6.
Figure 1: a single 1 cm × 1 cm square.
Figure 2: four 1-cm squares arranged in a 2 × 2 grid.
Figure 3: nine 1-cm squares arranged in a 3 × 3 grid.
The pattern continues so that Figure n is an n × n grid of 1-cm squares. Find the PERIMETER of Figure 6.
Which of these statements is TRUE about a regular hexagon?
A pattern of dots forms triangular numbers: Figure 1 has 1 dot, Figure 2 has 3 dots, Figure 3 has 6 dots, Figure 4 has 10 dots. The number of dots in Figure n follows the formula n × (n + 1) ÷ 2. Find the number of dots in Figure 12.
A pattern uses small black and white squares. Figure 1: 1 black, 0 white. Figure 2: 2 black, 2 white. Figure 3: 3 black, 6 white. Figure 4: 4 black, 12 white. The pattern continues so that Figure n has n black squares and n × (n − 1) white squares. Find the TOTAL number of squares (black + white) in Figure 10.
