The diagram shows the first four of a sequence of figures.
Figure 1 is made up of just 1 square.
Figure 2 is made up of one 2 x 2 and four 1 x 1 squares, so it has a total of 1 + 4 = 5 squares.
Figure 3 contains one 3 x 3 and some 2 x 2 squares and nine 1 x 1 squares.
The sequence continues as shown in Figure 4 and so on.
  1. How many squares are there in Figure 7?
  2. How many total number of squares will be there in sequence 7?

Consider the following sequence:
  1. Find the sum of 2 + 6 + 10 + 14 + ... + 30.
  2. A given line of the sequence is as follows: 2 + 6 + 10 + 14 + ... + a = 648 = 2 x b2. Find the value of b.
  3. Calculate the sum of Line 40 if the pattern for the sum of the lines is as follows:- Line 1: 8 Line 2: 8 + 10 Line 3: 8 + 10 + 12
