First Shape:
3 vertical lines + 3 horizontal lines
The total intersections: 3 × 3 = 9
So, the first shape equals 9.
Second Shape (the plus sign):
1 vertical line + 1 horizontal line
The total intersections: 1 × 1 = 1
So, the second shape equals 1.
Last Shape:
2 vertical lines + 2 horizontal lines
The total intersections: 2 × 2 = 4
So, the missing number for the last shape is 4.
Final Answer: The missing number is 4.
