Maria Louisa looks at a sequence of shapes and records the number of vertices in each of the shapes in the sequence. The first shape has 10 vertices, the second shape has 12 vertices, and the third shape has 14 vertices. If Maria Louisa assumes that the number of vertices in the sequence of shapes follows the same pattern, how many vertices would she expect the 30 shape to have?
