Question

Identify which among the pieces given below will not be required to complete the triangular pattern shown below.

• A. $p$
• B. $r$
• C. $s$
• D. $t$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $p$

We can form a triangle by just joining the pieces q and s. But that will result in a small triangle.

By joining r and t, it will form a four sides polygon.

Then join q on top of t and s on the top of r and we get a triangular pattern shown above.

So, to form the triangular pattern as above, we do not require piece p.

Hence, p will not be required to complete the triangular pattern shown above.
