Mathematics Question on The Idea of a Variable

Radha is drawing a dot Rangoli (a beautiful pattern of lines joining dots with chalk powder as in figure). She has 8 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?

Answer

Lets figure out the given by the following steps:
Number of dots in each row = 88 dots
Number of rows = rr
Therefore, number of dots = 8r8r
When there are 88 rows,
then number of dots = 8×88 \times 8 = 6464 dots
When there are 1010 rows,
then number of dots = 8×10=808 \times 10 = 80 dots
So, the correct answer is: 80 dots.
