The 35th shape is

1 answer

To determine the 35th shape in the pattern "flower, heart, circle," we need to recognize that the sequence repeats every three shapes. The pattern sequence is as follows:

  1. Flower
  2. Heart
  3. Circle

To find the position of the 35th shape in the repeating sequence, we can calculate the remainder of 35 divided by 3:

35 รท 3 = 11 with a remainder of 2.

The remainder tells us which shape corresponds to the 35th position in the cycle:

  • A remainder of 1 corresponds to "flower."
  • A remainder of 2 corresponds to "heart."
  • A remainder of 0 corresponds to "circle."

Since the remainder is 2, the 35th shape is heart.
