10 - 5and the black dot is +1 and the red dot -1, how much is represented in the figure below? a) 6^2 = 36 b) 6 ^ 2 - 2 = 36 * 2 = 34 c) 6 ^ 2 - 1 = 36 - 1 = 35 d) 6 ^ 2 + 1 = 36 + 1 = 37

To obtain the total number of dots, we will multiply the horizontal(row) number of dots by the vertical(column) number of dots.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Horizontal dots = 6} \\ \text{Vertical dots = 6} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the total number of dots in the figure is
[tex]6\times6=6^2=36[/tex]Hence, there are 36dots in the figure.
The correct option is Option A.
