A Practice

See Problem 1.

For each diagram, find the relationship between the number of shapes and the perimeter of the figure they form. Represent this relationship using a table, words, an equation, and a graph.

  1. 3 sets of regular pentagons are shown. In each set, the pentagons are adjacent along entire sides. The sets include 1, 2, and 3 pentagons.
  2. 3 sets of regular hexagons are shown. In each set, the hexagons are adjacent along entire sides. The sets include 1, 2, and 3 hexagons.

See Problem 2.

For each table, determine whether the relationship is a linear function. Then represent the relationship using words, an equation, and a graph.
