To find the thirty-second shape of the
pattern,
Choose •
32 by

The remainder is
Choose • making the thirty-second
shape a
Choose =

Answer 1

To find the thirty-second shape of the pattern "circle, diamond, sphere, circle, square," we first need to determine the length of the pattern.

The pattern consists of 5 shapes:
1. Circle
2. Diamond
3. Sphere
4. Circle
5. Square

Now, the process to find the thirty-second shape is as follows:

1. **Divide 32 by the number of shapes in the pattern:**
\( 32 \div 5 = 6 \)

2. **Calculate the remainder:**
\( 32 \mod 5 = 2 \)

This means that the thirty-second position in the repeating pattern corresponds to the second shape in the list.

### Completing the phrase:
- To find the thirty-second shape of the pattern,
Choose: **32 by**
- Choose: **5**
- The remainder is
Choose: **2**
making the thirty-second shape a
Choose: **diamond**

So, the completed phrase would read:
"To find the thirty-second shape of the pattern, 32 by 5. The remainder is 2 making the thirty-second shape a diamond."
