I need help! This pattern repeats every 4 terms. The pattern is square, hexagon, trapezoid, triangle. What is the shape in the 7th term of this pattern?

Sagot :

Answer:  Trapezoid

==========================================================

Explanation:

There are two ways to do this problem.

Method 1 involves listing out the terms until we reach the seventh one.

  1. square
  2. hexagon
  3. trapezoid
  4. triangle
  5. square
  6. hexagon
  7. trapezoid
  8. triangle

We see that the trapezoid is term 7.

Method 2 is faster and the one I recommend.

Since the pattern repeats every 4 items, this means we divide by 4 and look at the remainder. Ignore the quotient entirely.

7/4 = 1 remainder 3

The remainder 3 means that the answer is found in term 3, which is the trapezoid.
