Answer:
Explanation:
So we are not counting each line segment forming a cube. We are actually counting the four sides of the overall shape, and the number of segments inside it.
It will increase by 2 each time.
So if we start at 4(the four outside lines), go to 6(adding 2 on the inside), then to 8(adding 2 more on the inside), we continue this 100 times, correct?
So our equation would be
(x times 2) +4 (if we start at the SECOND term and count that as the first )
so, to figure out the answer to out problem, we insert 100 for x
(100 x 2)+4 = 204
This would leave us with one big square (4 outside line segments) With 100 segments going horizontal, and 100 vertical)
Hope this helps! ^^
