Question

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?

Answer 1

5 Blocks=4 blocks (on sides) 10 Blocks=9 blocks (on sides)

Explanation:

You subtract one set of blocks (on sides) each time. That's it! Hope this helps!

Answer 2

is there an equation for this or simple math?
