Sorry for re-post. Damon answered but I do not see any relate between number.The question is:

Look for a pattern. Have a rectangle with number 10, 16 and 23 in the corners.The circle inside rectangle with 9, 12 and 24 inside circle. Place the numbers from 8 to 26 either inside or outside the circle according to the pattern shown.
(Draw a rectangle : 10 on bottom left then 16 on top left, 23 on other top corner. Draw a circle inside rectangle . Inside the circle: 9 on left, 12 on top, and 24 on right side.)
Help.

Is there some kind of grid in the rectangle and circle, or are the numbers to be placed anywhere on a large blank canvas?

Hi

No any grid except rectangle and circle.
Inside the circle, number 9 ,12, 24 placed look like a equilateral triangle, which 12 is at the top,9 is the left and 24 is the right .thanks

shut up

To solve this pattern, we need to analyze the given numbers and identify any relationships or patterns among them.

First, let's observe the numbers in the corners of the rectangle: 10, 16, and 23. Notice that the difference between adjacent numbers is not constant. The difference between 16 and 10 is 6, while the difference between 23 and 16 is 7.

Now, let's focus on the numbers inside the circle: 9, 12, and 24. Here, we can see that the difference between adjacent numbers is constant. The difference between 12 and 9 is 3, while the difference between 24 and 12 is also 12.

Based on these observations, let's try to find a pattern.

One pattern that emerges is that the numbers in the corners of the rectangle increase by 6 and 7 alternately. Starting with 10, we can add 6 to get 16, then add 7 to get 23.

Similarly, the numbers inside the circle increase by 3 and 12 alternately. Starting with 9, we can add 3 to get 12, then add 12 to get 24.

Now, let's place the numbers from 8 to 26 either inside or outside the circle according to this pattern.

Starting with the number 8, we need to determine whether it is placed inside the circle or outside.

Based on the pattern we observed, 8 should be placed inside the circle since it is 3 less than 11 (which is the number obtained by adding 3 to 8).

Similarly, the number 11 should be placed outside the circle since it is 3 more than 8.

Continuing this pattern, we can place the numbers as follows:

Inside the circle: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 20, 24
Outside the circle: 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26.

By following this pattern, all the numbers from 8 to 26 are placed either inside or outside the circle correctly.
