Question

Find the missing number in the given star figure where opposite triangle pairs sum to 20: $(19, 1), (17, 3), (15, 5), (18, 2), (16, 4)$ and $(?, 6)$.

Accepted Answer

A. Opposite numbers in the star pattern sum up to 20: - $19 + 1 = 20$ - $17 + 3 = 20$ - $15 + 5 = 20$ - $18 + 2 = 20$ - $16 + 4 = 20$ Thus, $? + 6 = 20 \implies ? = 14$.
