The figures below show a pattern.

find the expression that could be used to determine the number of squares in the nth figure.

The number of blocks in the nth figure will be (3n + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure where few arrangements are there.

The number of blocks in the first arrangement is (3 + 1)

Now, the number of blocks in the second arrangement is (3 × 2 + 1)

Again, the number of blocks in the third arrangement is (3 × 3 + 1)

So, the pattern says that the number of blocks in the nth arrangement will be (3 × n + 1) = (3n + 1) (Answer)

i think the answer is b)

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
