The small squares on a chessboard can be combined to form larger squares. For example, there are sixty-four 1x1 squares and one 8x8 square. Use inductive reasoning to determine how many 2x2 squares, 3x3 squares, and so on, are on a chessboard. What is the total number of squares on a chessboard?

answer: b

step-by-step explanation:

i think it would be c

mark brainliest if im right

step-by-step explanation:

yes they are the same

alright so i think for this one it would to draw it out. this may be hard for me to try and draw, but i will do my best on here:

        r

  /       |     \

notice how it forms 2 triangles inside one bigger triangle.

so if we know the angle spr is the same as psr that is saying the measure of angle p is the same as angle s. this means the big triangle psr is either isosceles or equilateral. in both cases, the triangle is perfectly symmetrical when split down the middle, which is in this case rq. because we know it is perfectly symmetrical on both sides, we know that the two triangles inside the bigger one are equal.
