The sequence represents square numbers (1x1, 2x2, 3x3). Following this, the next two numbers would be 16 (4x4) and 25 (5x5). Recognizing the rule helps in extending the sequence.

In a pattern where each shape rotates 90° clockwise, what is the next orientation of a square that starts facing up?
  • a)
    Back
  • b)
    Left
  • c)
    Down
  • d)
    Right
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

If a square rotates 90° clockwise from facing up, it will next face right. Understanding this concept is essential in visualizing rotations in geometric patterns.

How can one identify a triangular number?
  • a)
    By multiplying a number by itself
  • b)
    By adding consecutive odd numbers
  • c)
    By arranging dots in a square
  • d)
    By adding consecutive numbers to the previous sum
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Edu Impact answered
Triangular numbers are formed by arranging dots in a triangle and can be identified by the rule of adding consecutive numbers (e.g., 1, 3, 6, 10). This sequence reflects how many dots can form a triangle shape.

What type of pattern is characterized by a unit that repeats in the same order?
  • a)
    Repeating Pattern
  • b)
    Alternating Pattern
  • c)
    Random Pattern
  • d)
    Progressive Pattern
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?
