Can anyone tell me how many blue boxes there will be in the tenth one

>> No.10300735

92

This.
The amount of blocks are given by the formula (n+4)^2-4-n^2, with n=1 being the first one.

>> No.10300748

>>10300744
no retard, the formula is n*8+12
thus for n=4 (the next iteration) it's 50 blocks

>> No.10300749

>>10300748
and for n=10 92
it's just that your formula is shit

but the first one is way too convoluted, thus making it more retarded. you should always give the simplest expression as a solution.

Thats the most intuitive form. Square minus square minus four coners.

Corners are constant = 3*4. The mid circle expands at a rate of 4*2*x, where x is the size of the mid square.

So, tenth one: 3*4+ 4*2*10 = 92

not him but it is the most trivial to see form. yours is its simplification.

12+8(10)=92

>> No.10301653

8(x + n) - 12; where n = 1, 2, 3, 4... k iterations & x = 3 for every nth iteration
So if n = 10 -> 8(3+10) - 12 = 92

Before you find an answer, you must state the question.

In this case, simply stating the question will probably produce a satisfactory answer.

Reminder that this visualization is the most intuitive. A kindergartener can look at this and understand. You punkos think they can imagine big squares and shit? My method beats yours to the ground. It is the most pedagogical and robust.

Why are you being so mad by elementary tier math problem that just can have two alternative answer?
