... shape was in the sequence. The cross shape I made my shapes from was 4th in the sequence the side of the squares were 3?3 and the length of the 2 rectangles were 3 all the measurements I had found were one less than n, all except from the 1 square by itself An equation I could use for one of the squares was +(n-1)² For one of the rectangles was +(n-1) And for the single square by itself was +1 When I put this together I got (n-1)²+(n-)+1 But I had 2 squares and 2 rectangles so then I got 2(n-1)²+2(n-1)+1 Then I simplified this equation: 2(n-1)²+2(n-1)+1 2(n-1)(n-1)+2(n-1)+1 2(n-1)(n-1)+2n-2+1 2(n²-n-n+1)+2n-2+1 2n²-4n+2n+2-2+1 2n²-2n+1 I had simplified the equation as far as I could so now I could apply it to the shapes On the next page I will show the table of results for my equation and show how they can be applied to the patterns of numbers When I am given any cross shape to ...
