OK I need help please I think it's 7 but not sure.
If a circle is cut into 2 pieces. A triangle in 4 pieces ,a square into 5 pieces, what is next shape and how many pieces will be cut?
I'd say a pentagon in 6 pieces
Thank you steve
To determine the shape and the number of pieces that will be cut, let's analyze the given pattern:
1. Circle into 2 pieces.
2. Triangle into 4 pieces.
3. Square into 5 pieces.
From the given pattern, it seems that the number of pieces is increasing with each shape. Therefore, the next shape will likely be divided into more than 5 pieces.
To find the number of pieces, we can look for a pattern in the number of pieces created by each shape. Let's list them:
1. Circle: 2 pieces
2. Triangle: 4 pieces
3. Square: 5 pieces
Observing the pattern, we can see that the number of pieces increases by 2 each time. Therefore, the next shape will likely be divided into 7 pieces.
So, the next shape will be cut into 7 pieces.
