Write the number of chords in each figure as a sequence.
Do they follow arithmetic sequence?
1, 3, 6, 9; No
Number of chords in circle 1 = 1
Number of chords in circle 2 = 3
Number of chords in circle 3 = 6
Number of chords in circle 4 = 9
The sequence is 1, 3, 6, 9
3 - 1 = 2
6 - 3 = 3
9 - 6 = 3
Difference is not same. So, it is not an arithmetic sequence.
