Q. 11. (b) Fig 11.7 gives a matchstick pattern of triangles. As in Exercise 11 (a) above, find the general rule that gives the number of matchsticks in terms of the number of triangles.
(a) 3 matchsticks
(b) 5 matchsticks
(c) 7 matchsticks
(d) 9 matchsticks
If we remove 1 matchstick from each then it forms a table of 2 i.e., 2,4,6,8............
So, required equation = 2x+1 , x= number of triangles
