Find the rule which gives the number of matchsticks required to make the following matchstick patterns. Use a variable to write the rule:

(a) A pattern of letter T as


(b) A pattern of letter Z as


(c) A pattern of letter U as


(d) A pattern of letter V as


(e) A pattern of letter E as


(f) A pattern of letter S as


(g) A pattern of letter A as

(a)


From the above figure, it can be observed that the letter T will require 2 matchsticks


Therefore,


The pattern is 2n


(b)


From the above figure, it can be observed that the letter Z will require 3 matchsticks


Therefore,


The pattern is 3n


(c)


From the above figure, it can be observed that the letter U will require 3 matchsticks


Therefore,


The pattern is 3n


(d)


From the above figure, it can be observed that the letter V will require 2 matchsticks


Therefore,


The pattern is 2n


(e)


From the above figure, it can be observed that the letter E will require 5 matchsticks


Therefore,


The pattern is 5n


(f)


From the above figure, it can be observed that the letter S will require 5 matchsticks


Therefore,


The pattern is 5n


(g)


From the above figure, it can be observed that the letter R will require 6 matchsticks


Therefore,


The pattern is 6n
