Top: There are
Total:
Figure (ii):
Center: There's 1 cube in the middle.
Arms: Four arms extend from the center, each with
Total: 1 (center) + (4 arms x
Figure (iii):
Bottom Layer (Base): A 3 x 3 square with
Middle Layer: A 2x2 square with
Top Layer:
Hidden Layer: 6 cubes at the base that are not visible.
Total:
Figure (iv):
Bottom Layer (Base): A 3x3 square with
Middle Layer: A 2x2 square with
Top Layer:
Total: 9 (bottom) + 4 (middle) + 1 (top) =
