Question

How many pattern block triangles would i need to make 4 hexagons

Answer 1

Let's use pattern blocks to visualize the situation and say that a hexagon is 1 whole. Since 3 rhombuses make a hexagon, 1 rhombus represents and 2 rhombuses represent . We can see that 6 pairs of rhombuses make 4 hexagons, so there are 6 groups of in 4.

Answer 2

4 hexagons * 6 equilateral triangles per hexagon = 24 equilateral triangles

Explanation:

Pattern blocks are a set of geometric shapes commonly used in math education. The set typically includes six different shapes: triangle, rhombus, trapezoid, hexagon, square, and equilateral triangle. Each hexagon in a pattern block set is made up of six equilateral triangles.

To make 4 hexagons using pattern blocks, we would need to calculate the total number of equilateral triangles required. Since each hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral triangles, we can multiply the number of hexagons by 6 to get the total number of equilateral triangles needed.

4 hexagons * 6 equilateral triangles per hexagon = 24 equilateral triangles

So, you would need 24 pattern block triangles to make 4 hexagons using pattern blocks.
