For the first one:
Assume we have bars lined up like a triangle, we all know that the nth odd number is 2n - 1, so we get (1, 3, 5, 7, ...).
Now we have a staircase made of the bars, it has a width of n and height of 2n - 1.
Copy the whole staircase then rotate it by 180° and add 1 to the height, so now we have a rectangle with a width of n and height of 2n.
To get the sum of the first n odd numbers, we will get half the area of the rectangle which is n(2n) / 2, now simplify:
n(2n) / 2
2n² / 2
n²
So it's now proven using geometry.
