Answer:

a. y = 2x + 1

b. 20

Explanation:

a. With each increasing figure, two more blocks are added on. Through this, we can determine the rule:

y = 2x + 1

y being the total number of blocks in a figure

x being the number of the figure.

_________

b. To figure out which figure number has 41 squares, we can set the equation we found equal to 41.

41 = 2x + 1

40 = 2x

20 = x

So figure 20 will have 41 squares.
