Answer 1

t= n*n

Explanation:

n represents the pattern number.

t represents the number of tiles.

let's use pattern #3 for n.

t=3*3 replace n with the tile number

t= 9 tile number is 9?

correct.

plug in 1 and/or 2 for n if you would like to check your work.

t=1*1

t=1

correct.

t=2*2

t=4

correct.

Formula t=n*n is solution.
