Algebra.Com's Answer #230035 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! i have a pattern of triangles and each side is one unit, therefore one triangle would be 3 units and it goes all the way to four triangles which makes it twelve units. \n" ); document.write( "On the question it says \"What is the perimeter of the nth figure in this pattern?\" \n" ); document.write( "and i have no idea how i'm suppose to find that? can you help? \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "You should build a pattern of ordered pairs (t,p) \n" ); document.write( "where t is the number of triangles and p is the perimeter. \n" ); document.write( "Start with t = 1, then t = 2, etc. \n" ); document.write( "Try to detect a pattern in the relation of p to t. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Then let t = n and find the corresponding P(n). \n" ); document.write( "========================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
