The pattern for the number of side is 6, 11, 16....

The common difference is 5

What is the pattern for the number of side?

6, 11, 16....

The first term, a = 6

Common difference, d = 11 - 6

= 5

The nth term of the sequence = a + (n -1)d

= 6 + (n - 1)5

= 6 + 5n - 5

= 5n + 1

Therefore, nth term = 5n + 1
