Explanation:
We are given a pattern made of shapes that repeat in a grid. The pattern looks like a series of connected star-like figures made from straight lines. To solve this, we need to count how many of these star-like shapes are in the entire image.
Let’s break it down:
1. Look at one row of the pattern.
We can see that the shapes are arranged in rows. In each row, the star-like shapes are connected and go across the width of the image.
2. Count how many complete star-like shapes are in one row.
If we count from left to right in the top row, we can see there are 5 full star-like shapes.
(We can confirm this by noticing that the pattern repeats every 5 units across.)
3. Count how many rows there are.
There are 3 full rows of these shapes from top to bottom.
4. Multiply the number of shapes per row by the number of rows.
5 shapes per row × 3 rows = 15 shapes.
So, there are 15 star-like shapes in total.
Final Answer:
15
