what comes next in the pattern?
2, 5, 10, 17, 26,?
your answer
find the odd one out:
triangle, circle, rectangle, pyramid
your answer

Explanation:

1. First question

Step1: Divide total pages by number of people

We need to divide the total number of pages (100) by the number of people (4) to find out how many pages each person reviews. The formula is $\text{Pages per person}=\frac{\text{Total pages}}{\text{Number of people}}$.
$100\div4 = 25$

Step1: Analyze the differences between terms

The differences between consecutive terms are: $5 - 2=3$, $10 - 5 = 5$, $17 - 10=7$, $26 - 17 = 9$. The differences are consecutive odd - numbers. The next odd - number after 9 is 11.

Step2: Find the next term

To find the next term in the sequence, we add 11 to the last given term (26). So, $26+11 = 37$.

Step1: Identify the nature of shapes

Triangle, circle, and rectangle are 2 - D shapes. A pyramid is a 3 - D shape.

Answer:

25
