The figure shown is a square with a triangular hole cut into one side. The ratio of the height h of the
triangle to a side length of the square is 5 to 6. The ratio of the base b of the triangle to the side length of
the square is 1 to 2. If the area of the square is 36 square inches, what is the area of the shaded part of the
square?

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

the answer is: -22 also a
