can't see the patterns here.
However, surely you can do some parts of this, and maybe your answers will shed some light on the diagrams.
Matchstick Rings
each pattern of square rings has been made with matchsticks which are all the same length.
If the length of one side of a square ring is "m" matchsticks, try to find a formula, in terms of m, for each of the following:
a) The outer perimeter, P.
b) The inner perimeter, p.
c) The number of squares, S.
d) The total number of matchsticks, M.
If the rings are rectangular of length L matchsticks and breadth B matchsticks, try to find formula or P, p, S and M
