Number of dots = Pattern number × 3 + 2

Some number patterns/sequence may be familiar and possible to work out easily. For others, like this one, that comes with a diagram, studying the figures tell us that with each additional square, three dots are added. This tells us that the general rule has 'figure number x 3'. We also observe that there are 2 additional dots at the left and right end of the squares, so we include the '+2'. Putting them together, we will have Number of dots = figure number x 3 + 2. To be sure, we can check the rule with the numbers in Figure 1, 2 or 3.
