    31 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    you can get this answer by 2 ways. one is using number patterns.

    find the difference between each of the heights.

    13-10=3

    16-13=3

    19-16=3

    therefore the common difference is 3

    now create a number pattern.

    first term + common difference * (n-1) = nth term

    a + (n-1) d

    let's check this with the 2nd month

    10 + 3 * (2-1)

    10+3=13

    in second month 13 inches

    so this pattern works

    let's find the height in 8th month

    10 + 3 (8-1)

    10 + 21=31 inches

    height in 8th month is 31 inches.

    you can find this by just adding too. but forming an equation is always good and safe
