Posted by admin | Filed under Homework Help
Hi… I know it’s late, so the chances of someone who can help me being online are slim, but I can try…
I’m doing math homework… algebra… and in the problem, there are figures, pyrimads of circles (figure one has one dot (circle), figure 4 has four dots along each side, 5 has 5 dots on each side, and so on. They all sort of look like equilateral triangles. theres a chart with the fig. number and the number of dots in each figure:
Fig: 1 2 3 4 5 6
# dots: 1 3 6 10 15 21
and so on. We’re supposed to come up with a formula (sentence, statement, etc…) that tells you how many dots are in ANY figure, without knowing the number of dots in the figure before it. plz help me!!!!!!! oh, I am punkrocker7362 on aim if you can talk to me that way, it’s easier than emailing back and forth… I’m online now.
