I was constructing towers as you see below. I noticed that each

time I made the tower higher, I had to add more blocks on the
sides to stabilize the structure. I would like to know how many
cubes I will need to build a 5-block high tower and a 10-block
high tower. Generalize, if you can, on how many blocks I will
need for any size tower?
