= 1 small square
Which of the following functions represents f(n), the number of small squares in figure n?
A. f(n) = 2n2 + 1
OB. f(n) = (n + 1)2 - 1
OC. f(n) = (n + 1)2 + 1
o D. f(n) = n2 - 1

The perimeter of ? cde is 55 cm. a rhombus dmfn is inscribed in this triangle so that vertices m, f, and n lie on the sides cd , ce , and de respectively. find cd and de if cf=8 cm and ef=12 cm. the answer is not cd=20 and de=15. i have tried that one, it does not work.
