Question

Here is a pattern made from sticks:

a)
How many sticks would be in pattern number 6?
b)
How many sticks would be in pattern number n?
Help needed I can’t figure this out.

Answer 1

maybe like 12

Explanation:

I would think 12 because because it is 2 of the square so I think 6 + 6 correct me of I'm wrong.

Answer 2

a) Pattern number 6 requires 24 sticks.

b) Pattern number n requires 4n sticks.

The pattern appears to be based on squares made from sticks. Here's how to find the number of sticks needed for different patterns:

a) Pattern number 6:

1. Each square in the pattern requires 4 sticks (2 for the top and 2 for the bottom).

2. Pattern number 6 has 6 squares.

3. Therefore, pattern number 6 requires 6 squares * 4 sticks/square = 24 sticks.

b) Pattern number n:

1. Following the same logic, pattern number n will have n squares.

2. Each square requires 4 sticks.

3. Therefore, pattern number n requires n squares * 4 sticks/square = 4n sticks.
