To determine the thirty-second shape in the pattern "circle, diamond, sphere, circle, square", we first need to identify the total number of shapes in the repeating pattern.
The pattern consists of 5 shapes:
- Circle
- Diamond
- Sphere
- Circle
- Square
Now, to find the thirty-second shape, we'll calculate \( 32 \mod 5 \) (the remainder when 32 is divided by 5):
-
Divide 32 by 5: \( 32 \div 5 = 6 \) remainder \( 2 \)
-
The remainder is \( 2 \).
This means that the thirty-second position corresponds to the 2nd shape in the pattern.
Looking at the pattern:
- 1st shape: Circle
- 2nd shape: Diamond
Therefore, the thirty-second shape is a diamond.
So, the completed phrase would be:
"To find the thirty-second shape of the pattern, add 32 by 5. The remainder is 2 making the thirty-second shape a diamond."
