Question

what shape comes next?

Explanation:

Analyze the sequence of shapes

The sequence of shapes is:
Triangle, Square, Triangle, Triangle, Square, Triangle, Triangle, Triangle, Square, [Blank]

Identify the pattern structure

The pattern is grouped by squares:

• First group before the first square: 1 triangle (Triangle, Square)
• Second group before the second square: 2 triangles (Triangle, Triangle, Square)
• Third group before the third square: 3 triangles (Triangle, Triangle, Triangle, Square)

This is a growing pattern where the number of triangles increases by 1 in each successive group.

Determine the next shape

Following the third square, a new group of triangles must begin. Since the previous group had 3 triangles, the next group will start with a triangle. Therefore, the shape that comes immediately after the square is a triangle.

Answer:

• Triangle (Correct answer)
• Square
