Question

1. Write the rule which gives the number of matchsticks required to make the pattern:letters
M, F&B (HINT: WRITE LETTERS IN DIGITAL FORM)​

Answer 1

Rule which gives the number of matchsticks required to make the following matchstick patterns.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Letter M

To make M, four matchsticks are required.

Thus,

for 1M

number of matchsticks = 4

for 2M

number of matchsticks = 8

for 3M

number of matchsticks = 12

Formula to calculate number of matchsticks =  4n, where n = number of M

2)  Letter F

To make F, three matchsticks are required.

Thus,

for 1F

number of matchsticks = 3

for 2F

number of matchsticks = 6

for 3F

number of matchsticks = 9

Formula to calculate number of matchsticks =  3n, where n = number of F

2)  Letter B

To make B, six matchsticks are required.

Thus,

for 1B

number of matchsticks = 6

for 2B

number of matchsticks = 12

for 3B

number of matchsticks = 18

Formula to calculate number of matchsticks =  6n, where n = number of B
