Find the rule which gives the number of matchsticks required to make the following matchstick patterns. Use a variable to write the rule,(a) A pattern of letter T as T(b) A pattern of letter Z as Z(c) A pattern of letter U as U(d) A pattern of letter V as V(e) A pattern of letter E as E(f) A pattern of letter S as S(g) A pattern of letter A as |
Answer» (a) A pattern of letter T as T From the figure, it can be observed that it will required two matchsticks to make a T, Therefore the pattern is 2n (b) A pattern of letter Z as Z From the figure, it can be observed that it will require three matchsticks two make a Z there fore, the pattern is 3n. (c) A pattern of letter U as U From the figure, it can be observed that it will require there matchsticks to make a U. Therefore the pattern 3n (d) A pattern of letter V as V From the figure it can be observed that it will required two matchsticks to make, a V, Therefore, the pattern is 2n (e) A pattern of letter E as E From the figure, it can be observed that it will required five matchsticks to make an E. Therefore, the pattern in 5n. (f) A pattern of letter S as S From the figure, it can be observed that it will require five matchsticks to make a S therefore, the pattern is 5n (g) A pattern of letter A as A From the figure, it can be observed that it will required six matchsticks to make an A, therefore, the pattern is 6n. |
