Question

How many dots would be in the 7th picture ?

Answer 1

Answer: 28 dots

Step-by-step explanation: In this pattern,

we can see the the first figure is just 1 dot.

The second figure has a new row on the bottom with 2 dots.

The third figure has a new row on the bottom with 3 dots

and the fourth figure has a new row on the bottom with 4 dots.

So continuing with this pattern,

the next figure will have a new row with 5 dots,

the next will have a new row with 6 dots,

and the next will have a new row with 7 dots.

So in the 7th picture, we will have 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 dots.

This simplifies to 28 dots.
