In the given figure, let Y denote the number of steps and y denote its area. Find the relationship between x and y by tabulation.

Answer»

Let x denote the number of steps and y denote the area. 

In the first shape let x = 1 and the area be 1 cm2

When x = 2 : Area = 22 = 4 cm2 

When x = 3 : Area = 32 = 9 cm2 and so on. 

Tabulating the values of x and y

x12345
y1491625

From the table: 

x = 1 ⇒ y = 12 

x = 2 ⇒ y = 22 

x = 4 ⇒ y = 42 

x = 5 ⇒ y = 52

Hence the relationship between x and y is y = x2
