Let’s solve this Arithmogon Triangle Puzzle 2B step by step.

🔢 Rule:


> The numbers in the circles added together make the number in the linking rectangle.

Each triangle has:
- 3 circles (at the vertices)
- 3 rectangles (on the sides, each connecting two circles)

So for any side of the triangle:
Circle A + Circle B = Rectangle between them

We’ll go triangle by triangle and fill in the missing numbers.

## 🔺 Triangle 1 (Top Left)

Given:
- Top circle: 9
- Bottom-left circle: 16
- Bottom-right circle: ?
- Left rectangle (between 9 and 16): 25
- Bottom rectangle (between 16 and ?): 30
- Right rectangle (between 9 and ?): ?

Check left side: 9 + 16 = 25 → ✔️ correct.

Now, bottom rectangle = 16 + ? = 30
→ So, ? = 30 - 16 = 14 ← This is the bottom-right circle.

Now, right rectangle = 9 + 14 = 23

Answer for Triangle 1:
- Bottom-right circle: 14
- Right rectangle: 23

## 🔺 Triangle 2 (Top Right)

Given:
- Top circle: 11
- Bottom-left circle: 18
- Bottom-right circle: 16
- Left rectangle: ?
- Right rectangle: ?
- Bottom rectangle: ?

Left rectangle = 11 + 18 = 29

Right rectangle = 11 + 16 = 27

Bottom rectangle = 18 + 16 = 34

Answer for Triangle 2:
- Left rectangle: 29
- Right rectangle: 27
- Bottom rectangle: 34

---

## 🔺 Triangle 3 (Middle Left)

Given:
- Top circle: 14
- Bottom-left circle: 19
- Bottom-right circle: ?
- Left rectangle: ?
- Right rectangle: 25
- Bottom rectangle: ?

Right rectangle = 14 + ? = 25
→ So, ? = 25 - 14 = 11 ← bottom-right circle

Left rectangle = 14 + 19 = 33

Bottom rectangle = 19 + 11 = 30

Answer for Triangle 3:
- Left rectangle: 33
- Bottom-right circle: 11
- Bottom rectangle: 30

---

## 🔺 Triangle 4 (Middle Right)

Given:
- Bottom-left circle: 18
- Bottom-right circle: ?
- Top circle: ?
- Left rectangle: 27
- Bottom rectangle: 35
- Right rectangle: ?

From left rectangle: 18 + top circle = 27
→ Top circle = 27 - 18 = 9

From bottom rectangle: 18 + bottom-right circle = 35
→ Bottom-right circle = 35 - 18 = 17

Right rectangle = top circle + bottom-right circle = 9 + 17 = 26

Answer for Triangle 4:
- Top circle: 9
- Bottom-right circle: 17
- Right rectangle: 26

---

## 🔺 Triangle 5 (Bottom Left)

Given:
- Bottom-left circle: ?
- Bottom-right circle: 15
- Top circle: ?
- Left rectangle: 31
- Bottom rectangle: 32
- Right rectangle: ?

From bottom rectangle: ? + 15 = 32
→ Bottom-left circle = 32 - 15 = 17

From left rectangle: 17 + top circle = 31
→ Top circle = 31 - 17 = 14

Right rectangle = top circle + 15 = 14 + 15 = 29

Answer for Triangle 5:
- Bottom-left circle: 17
- Top circle: 14
- Right rectangle: 29

---

## 🔺 Triangle 6 (Bottom Right)

Given:
- Bottom-left circle: ?
- Bottom-right circle: ?
- Top circle: ?
- Left rectangle: 18
- Right rectangle: 14
- Bottom rectangle: 20

Let’s denote:
- Top circle = T
- Bottom-left circle = L
- Bottom-right circle = R

Equations:
1. T + L = 18
2. T + R = 14
3. L + R = 20

Subtract equation (2) from (1):
(T + L) - (T + R) = 18 - 14
→ L - R = 4 → L = R + 4

Plug into equation (3):
(R + 4) + R = 20
→ 2R + 4 = 20
→ 2R = 16 → R = 8

Then L = 8 + 4 = 12

Then T = 18 - L = 18 - 12 = 6

Answer for Triangle 6:
- Top circle: 6
- Bottom-left circle: 12
- Bottom-right circle: 8
