Math Problem Statement

What is the missing number inside the third triangle, based on the given pattern?

Solution

The image contains a pattern puzzle in which the numbers inside the triangles are related to the numbers on the outside. To solve this, let's examine the first two triangles and identify the pattern to apply to the third.

1st Triangle:

  • Outside numbers: 5, 5, 9
  • Inside number: 20 (5+5)×2=10×2=20(5 + 5) \times 2 = 10 \times 2 = 20

2nd Triangle:

  • Outside numbers: 8, 8, 9
  • Inside number: 8 (8+8)÷2=16÷2=8(8 + 8) \div 2 = 16 \div 2 = 8

3rd Triangle:

  • Outside numbers: 7, 11, 5
  • Inside number: ?

Following the same logic, let's apply the same rule: (7+11)÷2=18÷2=9(7 + 11) \div 2 = 18 \div 2 = 9

Therefore, the missing number inside the third triangle is 9.

Tip:

When solving puzzles, always check for arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) between numbers, as these are common techniques used to create patterns.
