the q' says the geometric pattern is made using 17 triangles

Answer 2

17 is the total of the amount triangles and squares used!

oh

Answer 4

Simultaneous equation here. Let x be triangles and y be squares. So you have 3x+4y=64
What else do you know? Hint: it is given in the question.

Answer 5

I DON"T UNDERSTAND!!!

Answer 6

OKAY!! I MIGHT BE STUPId,,,,,

Answer 7

Don't say that. Well, you are told that they used 17 triangles and squares in total. So written in a mathematical sentence that is x+y=17. So now you have your two equations. Can you solve them?

Answer 8

no.

Answer 9

i am stupid...blah..
