A grid is made up of 13 rows of squares , each having 14 identical squares, Bolo comes and wants to draw some more square to the girl. So , he draw 3 additional rows and add 'S' additional squares in each row, including the ones he added himself . Which of the following expression correctly represents the increase in the total number of squares in the grid ?

A

11+5n

B

42 + 16m

C

60 + 12n

D

The correct Answer is:
To find the increase in the total number of squares in the grid after Bolo's additions, we can break down the problem step by step. ### Step 1: Calculate the initial number of squares The grid initially has 13 rows, each containing 14 squares. \[ \text{Initial number of squares} = 13 \text{ rows} \times 14 \text{ squares/row} = 182 \text{ squares} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the number of additional rows Bolo adds 3 additional rows to the grid. \[ \text{Additional rows} = 3 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the total number of rows after Bolo's addition The total number of rows after adding the additional rows is: \[ \text{Total rows} = 13 \text{ initial rows} + 3 \text{ additional rows} = 16 \text{ rows} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the total number of squares in the new grid Each of the 16 rows still has 14 squares, so the total number of squares in the new grid is: \[ \text{Total squares in new grid} = 16 \text{ rows} \times 14 \text{ squares/row} = 224 \text{ squares} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the increase in the number of squares due to additional rows Bolo's addition of 3 rows means he has added: \[ \text{Squares added by new rows} = 3 \text{ rows} \times 14 \text{ squares/row} = 42 \text{ squares} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the additional squares added in each row Bolo adds 'S' additional squares in each of the 16 rows. Therefore, the total number of additional squares added is: \[ \text{Additional squares} = 16 \text{ rows} \times S \text{ squares/row} = 16S \text{ squares} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the total increase in the number of squares The total increase in the number of squares due to the additional rows and the additional squares is: \[ \text{Total increase} = \text{Squares added by new rows} + \text{Additional squares} \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ \text{Total increase} = 42 + 16S \] ### Final Expression Thus, the expression that correctly represents the increase in the total number of squares in the grid is: \[ \text{Increase in total squares} = 42 + 16S \] ---
