Question 7
Radha is drawing a dot Rangoli (a beautiful pattern of lines joining dots with chalk powder as shown in figure). She has 9 dots in a row. How many dots will her Rangoli have for r rows? How many dots are there if there are 8 rows? If there are 10 rows?
Given, number of dots in each row = 9
Number of rows = r
∴ Total number of dots in r rows = 9r
Case 1: When number of rows = 8
Number of dots in r rows = 9r
∴ Number of dots in 8 rows =9×8=72
Case 2: When number of rows = 10
Number of dots in r rows = 9r
∴ Number of dots in 10 rows = 9×10=90
