Answer to Problem 43HP

The number of toothpicks in that figure is given by 2n+4 and 2(n+2) .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  Pre-Algebra Student Edition, Chapter 1.2, Problem 43HP

Calculation:

Looking at the picture showing the terms, count the number of toothpicks for any term and form the following table.

    figure numberNumber of toothpicks
    16
    28
    310

Now, look at the above table, find a relation between term number and number of toothpicks as shown below:

    Figure numberNumber of toothpicks
    1 2×1+4=6
    2 2×2+4=8
    3 2×3+4=10

Thus relation can be defined as:

Let n be the figure number,

Then the number of toothpicks in that figure is given by 2n+4 .

This relation can be explained by top multiplied by two to give the top and bottom, than add 4 for the slopped sides.

Now, another relation between term number and number of toothpicks is as shown below:

    Figure numberNumber of toothpicks
    1 2(1+2)=6
    2 2(2+2)=8
    3 2(3+2)=10

Thus relation can be defined as:

Let n be the figure number,

Then the number of toothpicks in that figure is given by 2(n+2) .

This relation can be explained by that the bracket term represents half of the figure and then multiplied by two to get the complete figure.

Conclusion:

Thus, the number of toothpicks in that figure is given by 2n+4 and 2(n+2) .
