Shown below is a pattern of match sticks (Picture given)

If the pattern continues, what is the rule to find the number of match sticks in the pattern?

A. 5n
B. 4n+1
C. 3n+4
D. 2n+5b

PLS ANSWER ASAP!!! ILL MARK U BRAINLIEST♡♡♡♡

I think B is the correct one

4n + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

n = the number of matchstick "homes."

The first has 5 matchsticks.  But each additional home adds only 4, since one side is already present.  

4n+ 1 for n=1 produces 5 matchsticks.  Adding a second home would make it 4(2) + 1 = 9 matchsticks, which is also correct.  Continue with more homes, and you'll find this equation returns the correct values.

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
