Is 3321 a triangular number?

Here we will define and determine if 3321 is a triangular number, also known as a triangle number. First, note that an equilateral triangle is a triangle where the length of the three sides are the same, and the three internal angles of the triangle are 60 degrees. An equilateral triangle can look like this:

Take notice of the symmetry of the dots inside the triangle above. Each side of the triangle has the same number of dots, and one dot is added to each row of dots.

3321 is a triangular number if we can arrange all 3321 dots or objects in perfect symmetry to make an equilateral triangle. To determine if a number (n) is a triangular number, the following equation must be true:

√(8 × n) +1 = Integer

When we enter 3321 for n in our formula, we get the following result:

√(8 × 3321) +1 = 163

163 is an integer (whole number), therefore the answer to "Is 3321 a triangular number?" is as follows:

3321 = Triangular number

Since 3321 is a triangular number, you can make an equilateral triangle using 3321 objects or dots with 81 rows, where the first row would have 1 dot and the last row would have 81 dots.
