Question 8 (10%) Below we will define an n-interesting polygon A 1-interesting polygon is just a square with a side of length 1. An n-interesting polygon is obtained by taking the n -- 1-interesting polygon and appending 1- interesting polygons to its rim, side by side. You can see the 1, 2, 3 and 4 - interesting polygons in the picture below.
(a) Write an efficient algorithm to find the area of a polygon for a given n. (5 points) For n=2,the output should be SHAPEAREA(2)=5 For n=3,the output should be SHAPEAREA(3)=13
(b) What is the running time of your algorithm? (5 points)
n=1
n=2
n=3
