Looking at the pattern provided in the image, we can analyze it as follows:

1. The pattern shows three figures, each consisting of triangles arranged in rows.
2. Observing the figures:
   - Figure 1 has one row with **1 triangle**.
   - Figure 2 has two rows, with **2 triangles in the bottom row**.
   - Figure 3 has three rows, with **3 triangles in the bottom row**.

It appears that each figure \(n\) has \(n\) rows, and the number of triangles in the bottom row of each figure is equal to the figure's position in the sequence (e.g., Figure 3 has 3 triangles in the bottom row).

### Answer for Question 4
The next figure (Figure 4) will follow this pattern. It will:
   - Have **4 rows**.
   - The bottom row will contain **4 triangles**.

So, the next figure in the pattern will have four rows with the bottom row consisting of four triangles, and each row above will have one less triangle than the row below it.

### Answer for Question 5
To determine the rule for the number of triangles in the bottom row of the \(n\)-th figure:
   - The number of triangles in the bottom row of the \(n\)-th figure is simply \(n\).
   
   Therefore, the rule is: **The \(n\)-th figure has \(n\) triangles in the bottom row**.

Here are 5 related questions that expand on this concept:

1. How many total triangles are in the 4th figure in this pattern?
2. What would the 10th figure look like in terms of rows and triangle arrangement?
3. Can this pattern be represented as an arithmetic sequence?
4. How does this pattern differ from a triangular number sequence?
5. How would you describe a general formula to calculate the total number of triangles in the \(n\)-th figure?

**Tip:** When analyzing patterns, look for relationships between the figure number and specific attributes (such as rows or counts in each row). This helps to determine formulas or rules.

The first three figures in a pattern are shown, and questions are asked about predicting the next figure in the pattern and determining a rule for the pattern.
