Question
100%

look at this Pile Pattern 

a. Fill in Pile 1 and Pile 4 

b. Which one of these would be what Pile 100 looks like? Explain how you decided.

Certainly! Below is a transcription and detailed explanation of the content as it would appear on an educational website.

**Understanding Pile Patterns**

**2. Examine the Pile Pattern:**

A series of blocks are arranged in patterns labeled as Pile 0 through Pile 4. Each pile shows an increasing number of blocks arranged in a specific square formation.

- **Pile 0:** A 2x2 formation.
- **Pile 1:** (not filled) 
- **Pile 2:** A 3x3 square, starting the completion of the pattern.
- **Pile 3:** A continuation with a 4x4 square.
- **Pile 4:** (not filled)

**Instructions:**

a. **Fill in Pile 1 and Pile 4**

- Use the observed pattern to fill in the missing Piles. The pattern seems to indicate incremental growth in the blocks used, suggesting the pattern is based on expanding square formations.

b. **Determine What Pile 100 Looks Like**

Several diagrams are given, each with different configurations labeled with numbers:

- **First Diagram:** Shows numbers 102 and configurations labeled with 101.
- **Second Diagram:** Numbers 100 and configuration labeled with 101.
- **Third Diagram:** Numbers 102 and configurations labeled with 101.

**Task:** Identify which configuration corresponds to Pile 100 and explain your reasoning based on observable patterns in earlier piles.

---

This exercise encourages analytical thinking focused on identifying and applying growth patterns in geometric configurations.
