Question

use the shapes to make an aab pattern.

Explanation:

Identify the pattern rule

The problem asks to create an "AAB pattern" using the two given shapes: a purple triangle and a green plus sign. An AAB pattern repeats a sequence of two identical elements followed by a different third element.

Assign shapes to pattern variables

Let shape A be the purple triangle and shape B be the green plus sign.
The repeating unit AAB is:

• A: purple triangle
• A: purple triangle
• B: green plus sign

Extend the pattern to fill the 12 slots

Repeating the unit "triangle, triangle, plus" across the 12 available slots:

• Slots 1–3: triangle, triangle, plus
• Slots 4–6: triangle, triangle, plus
• Slots 7–9: triangle, triangle, plus
• Slots 10–12: triangle, triangle, plus

Answer:

Use the shapes to make an AAB pattern.
