Is 91 a triangular number?




Here we will define and determine if 91 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.

91 is a triangular number if we can arrange all 91 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 91 for n in our formula, we get the following result:

(8 × 91) +1 = 27

27 is an integer (whole number), therefore the answer to "Is 91 a triangular number?" is as follows:

91 = Triangular number


Since 91 is a triangular number, you can make an equilateral triangle using 91 objects or dots with 13 rows, where the first row would have 1 dot and the last row would have 13 dots.
