Step-by-step solution for: 3rd Grade Math Puzzles Worksheets
I will solve this Arithmogon Triangle Puzzle by carefully analyzing the rules and applying them to each triangle. The rule is that "The numbers in the circles added together makes the number in the linking rectangle." This means for each side of the triangle, the sum of the two circles at its ends equals the number in the rectangle on that side.
Let me break down the solution step by step for each triangle.
Triangle 1 (Top Left):
- Top circle: 10
- Bottom-left circle: 20
- Bottom-right circle: 50
- Left rectangle: 30 (between top and bottom-left circles)
- Bottom rectangle: 70 (between bottom-left and bottom-right circles)
- Right rectangle: ? (between top and bottom-right circles)
We need to find the missing number in the right rectangle.
According to the rule: Top circle + Bottom-right circle = Right rectangle
So, 10 + 50 = 60
Triangle 2 (Top Middle):
- Top circle: 6
- Bottom-left circle: 14
- Bottom-right circle: 12
- Left rectangle: 20 (between top and bottom-left circles)
- Bottom rectangle: ? (between bottom-left and bottom-right circles)
- Right rectangle: ? (between top and bottom-right circles)
First, find the bottom rectangle:
Bottom-left circle + Bottom-right circle = Bottom rectangle
14 + 12 = 26
Next, find the right rectangle:
Top circle + Bottom-right circle = Right rectangle
6 + 12 = 18
Triangle 3 (Top Right):
- Top circle: 60
- Bottom-left circle: 40
- Bottom-right circle: 50
- Left rectangle: ? (between top and bottom-left circles)
- Bottom rectangle: ? (between bottom-left and bottom-right circles)
- Right rectangle: ? (between top and bottom-right circles)
Find the left rectangle:
Top circle + Bottom-left circle = Left rectangle
60 + 40 = 100
Find the bottom rectangle:
Bottom-left circle + Bottom-right circle = Bottom rectangle
40 + 50 = 90
Find the right rectangle:
Top circle + Bottom-right circle = Right rectangle
60 + 50 = 110
Triangle 4 (Middle Left):
- Top circle: 7
- Bottom-left circle: 15
- Bottom-right circle: 14
- Left rectangle: ? (between top and bottom-left circles)
- Bottom rectangle: ? (between bottom-left and bottom-right circles)
- Right rectangle: ? (between top and bottom-right circles)
Find the left rectangle:
7 + 15 = 22
Find the bottom rectangle:
15 + 14 = 29
Find the right rectangle:
7 + 14 = 21
Triangle 5 (Middle Middle):
- Top circle: 13
- Bottom-left circle: 11
- Bottom-right circle: 17
- Left rectangle: ? (between top and bottom-left circles)
- Bottom rectangle: ? (between bottom-left and bottom-right circles)
- Right rectangle: ? (between top and bottom-right circles)
Find the left rectangle:
13 + 11 = 24
Find the bottom rectangle:
11 + 17 = 28
Find the right rectangle:
13 + 17 = 30

- Bottom-left circle: 9
- Bottom-right circle: 15
- Left rectangle: ? (between top and bottom-left circles)
- Bottom rectangle: ? (between bottom-left and bottom-right circles)
- Right rectangle: ? (between top and bottom-right circles)
Find the left rectangle:
12 + 9 = 21
Find the bottom rectangle:
9 + 15 = 24
Find the right rectangle:
12 + 15 = 27
Triangle 7 (Bottom Left):
- Top circle: 15
- Bottom-left circle: ?
- Bottom-right circle: 8
- Left rectangle: 21 (between top and bottom-left circles)
- Bottom rectangle: ? (between bottom-left and bottom-right circles)
- Right rectangle: ? (between top and bottom-right circles)
First, find the bottom-left circle:
Top circle + Bottom-left circle = Left rectangle
15 + ? = 21
? = 21 - 15 = 6
Now, find the bottom rectangle:
Bottom-left circle + Bottom-right circle = Bottom rectangle
6 + 8 = 14
Find the right rectangle:
Top circle + Bottom-right circle = Right rectangle
15 + 8 = 23
Triangle 8 (Bottom Middle):
- Top circle: 17
- Bottom-left circle: 7
- Bottom-right circle: ?
- Left rectangle: ? (between top and bottom-left circles)
- Bottom rectangle: ? (between bottom-left and bottom-right circles)
- Right rectangle: 26 (between top and bottom-right circles)
First, find the bottom-right circle:
Top circle + Bottom-right circle = Right rectangle
17 + ? = 26
? = 26 - 17 = 9
Now, find the left rectangle:
Top circle + Bottom-left circle = Left rectangle
17 + 7 = 24
Find the bottom rectangle:
Bottom-left circle + Bottom-right circle = Bottom rectangle
7 + 9 = 16
Triangle 9 (Bottom Right):
- Top circle: ?
- Bottom-left circle: 13
- Bottom-right circle: ?
- Left rectangle: 21 (between top and bottom-left circles)
- Bottom rectangle: ? (between bottom-left and bottom-right circles)
- Right rectangle: 19 (between top and bottom-right circles)
First, find the top circle using the left rectangle:
Top circle + Bottom-left circle = Left rectangle
? + 13 = 21
? = 21 - 13 = 8
Now, find the bottom-right circle using the right rectangle:
Top circle + Bottom-right circle = Right rectangle
8 + ? = 19
? = 19 - 8 = 11
Finally, find the bottom rectangle:
Bottom-left circle + Bottom-right circle = Bottom rectangle
13 + 11 = 24
