Figures with dots 2012-02-15

they want to know 3 more ways to show the number of dots in the figure. They have already shown one with just counting them and the other one that they showed was circling the four corner dots and then taking the dots in between with a number sentence set up like this: 4+4*(5-2) = 4+4*3= 16. They also besides giving 3 ways want us to write a number sentence and an algebraic sentence to show the number of dots in the figure with "n" sides. Please help! So confusing ! I don't know if my square turned out or not but it should be 5 across the top and bottom and on the sides and no dots in teh middle it is just the outside.

Dots on squared paper 2001-03-30
From Tom:
Consider some squared paper with lines 1cm. apart and dots where the lines cross. Place squares whose sides are whole numbers of centimetres on the paper in such a way that the sides of the squares always lie along the lines on the paper. For each square, find (a)the number of points inside the squares; (b)the number of points on the square and (c)the area of the square. How are these quantities related?
