The length of the largest shaded square and the length of the largest square in each figure is in the following ratio. Try to spot a pattern.
Fig 1: 1 to 2
Fig 2: 2 to 3
Fig 3: 3 to 4
Fig 4: 4 to 5
...
Fig n: n to (n + 1)
because the length of the largest shaded square is the same as the figure number and the length of the largest square is always 1 more than the length of the largest shaded square.
(ii)
If a large square has a length of 65 units, then the large shaded square has a length of 64 units.
Number of WHITE unit squares
= 65 x 65 - 64 x 64
= 129
(iii)
We can't find two identical numbers which multiply to 920 (30 x 30 is 900 but 31 x 31 = 961) so there are no figure in the pattern which contains 920 GREY unit squares.
