Suppose you have a 5x5 checkerboard with 25 squares. You put one penny on the first square, then 2 pennies on the next square then 2 pennies on the third square and so on until there are pennies on all the squares. How many pennies are on the 25th square?

I think the answer is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I couldn't determine the pattern since you placed 2 pennies on the other squares other than the first one.

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
