Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this sequence pattern, let's analyze the given figures step-by-step:
Observations:
-
Outer Shape Progression:
- 1st figure: Square
- 2nd figure: Triangle
- 3rd figure: Circle
- 4th figure: Square
- 5th figure: Pentagon
The pattern shows that the outer shape changes with each step. The sequence follows: Square → Triangle → Circle → Square → Pentagon. It appears that after the Circle, it repeats the Square. Therefore, after Pentagon, it would return to a Triangle.
-
Inner Shape Progression:
- 1st figure: Circle
- 2nd figure: Circle
- 3rd figure: Circle
- 4th figure: Circle
- 5th figure: Circle
The inner shape remains a circle throughout the sequence.
-
Inner Dot Progression:
- 1st figure: None
- 2nd figure: 1 Dot
- 3rd figure: 2 Dots
- 4th figure: 3 Dots
- 5th figure: 4 Dots
The number of dots inside the inner circle increases by one in each step.
Conclusion:
Based on these observations:
- The outer shape for the next figure should be a triangle.
- The inner shape remains a circle.
- The number of dots should be 5.
Choice Analysis:
The correct answer is D (Triangle with a Circle containing 5 dots inside).
