Best Answer

It can be hard to answer questions of this type based on only three examples. However, that does happen to be the start of the sequence called the "triangular numbers" ... that is, those quantities that can be arranged in an equilateral triangle (like Bowling pins or billiard balls). The next number in the triangular sequence is 10 (followed by 15, 21, 28, etc).
