The pyramid consists of
blocks, where the product of
the two numbers in side-by-
side blocks is written on the
block above them. What
number should replace b?

Answer 1

The number that should replace b is: 20

How to find the product on the Pyramid?

We are told that the pyramid consists of blocks, where the product of

the two numbers in side-by- side blocks is written on the block above them.

Thus, we can deduce the following:

b = (-5 * -4)

-16 = -4 * a

c = -16 * b

We want to find b and as such:

b = -5 * -4

b = 20
