If the figure in the left is named figure 1, the one in the middle is named figure 2 and the one in the right is named figure 3, then find the number of quadrilaterals in figure figure that follows this pattern.

In figure 1, the number of quadrilaterals = 1
In figure 2, the number of quadrilaterals = 3
In figure 3, the number of quadrilaterals = 6
(For clarification):-
In figure 4, the number of quadrilaterals = 1 0
In figure 5, the number of quadrilaterals = 1 5
So, we see that in the n th figure, there are i = 1 ∑ n i quadrilaterals.
So, in the 2 0 1 6 th figure there are i = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 6 i quadrilaterals.
= 2 2 0 1 6 × 2 0 1 7 = 2033136 quadrilaterals. □
