Q2. These patterns are made with matchsticks.
Every pattern is made with an odd number of matchsticks.The rule for finding the number of matchsticks in a pattern is:
2 times the number of triangles,
add 1
(a) Jason wants to make the pattern with 9 triangles.Use the rule to find how many matchsticks he will need.
.............................. matchsticks1 mark
(b) M = number of matchsticksT = number of triangles
Use symbols to write down the rule connecting M and T.
