1 answer

c. 37

To find the figure with 42 dots, you can add up the dots in each figure:

Figure 1: 8 dots
Figure 2: 9 dots
Figure 3: 10 dots

8 + 9 + 10 = 27 dots, which is less than 42.

Adding 42 dots is only possible by choosing figure 3, which has 10 dots, 42 - 10 = 32 remaining. Between Figure 1 and Figure 2, the combination of 8 (Figure 1) and 9 (Figure 2) results in 17 dots, making the total 10 + 17 + 10 = 37 dots. So, Figure 3 will have 42 dots.
