Question. 85 Sonal and Anmol made a sequence of the designs from square white tiles surrounding one square purple tile. The purple tiles come in many sizes. Three of the designs are shown below.
(a) Copy and complete the table

(b) Draw a graph using the first five pairs of numbers in your table.
(c) Do the points lie on a line?
Solution.
(a) In side length 1 the number of white tile surrounding purple tile Is 4.
Similarly, in side length 2 the number of white tiles surrounding purple tile is 8.
Thus, we can arrange the following table which shows side length of purple corresponding to the number of white tiles in border.


Question. 86 Sonal and Anmol then made another sequence of the designs. Three of the designs are shown below.

(b) Draw a graph of rows and number of white tiles. Draw another graph of the number of rows and the number of purple tiles. Put the number of rows on the horizontal axis.
