Question

In the given figure, let x denote the number of steps and y denote its area. Find the relationship between x and y by tabulation.

Answer 1

Given, x = number of steps
y = area

x	1	2	3	4	5
y	1	4	9	16	25

[ 1 mark]
When x = 1 , y = 1
x = 2, y = 4
x = 3, y = 9
x = 4, y = 16
x = 5, y = 25
The required relationship between x and y will be y = $x^2$
