1) Find the rule which gives the number of matchsticks required to make the following matchstick patterns. Use a variable to write the rule. (a) A pattern of letter T as T (b) A pattern of letter Z as Z (c)A pattern of letter U as U (d) A pattern of letter V as V (e) A pattern of letter E as E (f) A pattern of letter S as S (g) A pattern of letter A as A TIPS Firstly, form the given letter by matchsticks and then form the pattern. Since, number of letter is increasing in this pattern, so let the number of letter is a variable. Put the different values 1, 2, 3, ... n, of variable, find number of matchsticks and then get the required rule.

11) (i) Look at the following matchstick pattern of squares. The squares are not separate. Two neighboring squares have a common matchstick. Observe the patterns and find the rule that gives the number of matchsticks in terms of the number of squares. (Hint If you remove the vertical stick at the end, you will get a pattern of Cs.) (ii) Figure depict below gives a matchstick pattern of triangles. As in Exercise 11 (A) above, find the general rule that gives the number of matchsticks in terms of the number of triangles.

16) To find sum of three numbers 14, 27 and 13, we can have two ways (a) We may first add 14 and 27 to get 41 and then add 13 to it to get the total sum 54 or (b) We may add 27 and 13 to get 40 and then add 14 to get the sum 54. Thus, (14 + 27) + 13 = 14 + (27 + 13) This can be done for any three numbers. This property is known as the associatively of addition of numbers. Express this property which we have already studied in the chapter on Whole Numbers, in a general way, by using variables a, b and c.
