Answer:
The number of cubes in the 8th stage of the pattern is 204
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to calculate simply the 8th term of the pattern
T1 = 1
T2 = 1 + 4 = 1 + 2^2 = 5
T3 = T2 + 3^3 = 5 + 9 = 14
T4 = T3 + 4^2 = 14 + 16 = 30
T5 = T4 + 5^2 = 30 + 25 = 55
T6 = T5 + 6^2 = 55 + 36 = 91
T7 = T6 + 7^2 = 91 + 49 = 140
T8 = T7 + 8^2 = 140 + 64 = 204
