A wire spiral |
2012-01-07 |
|
Pinar pose la question : I am trying to help my daughter with very challenging maths questions which sometimes I get stuck
If someone help me with one of them I would appreciate it.
Jane is making a spiral out of wire. She bends the wire after 1 cm, then bends the wire
after 2cm, then 3cm and continues in this manner. After 4 bends she used 15 cm of wire
For each bend how many cm wire was used? After 6 bends how many cm wire will she have used?
How many bends will she have made if she uses 66 cm of wire?
I would appreciate if somebody would help me with this.
Thank you!
