From the above triangle, the second diagonal are \(1\), \(3\), \(6\), \(10\) and \(15\).
 
Difference between the numbers
\(3 - 1 = 2\)
\(6 - 3 = 3\)
\(10 - 6 = 4\)
\(15 - 6 = 5\)
 
The difference between the numbers in the second diagonal is \(2\), \(3\), \(4\) and \(5\). These are counting numbers.
 
Therefore, the difference between each number on the second diagonal is counting numbers.
 
 
4. The second diagonal numbers are triangular numbers.

A triangular number is a number that can make an equilateral triangular dot pattern.
 
For example, \(1\), \(3\), \(6\), \(10\) and \(15\) are triangular numbers.

Therefore, the second diagonal numbers are triangular numbers.
 
 
5. Adding the elements in the slanting rows of the Pascal’s Triangle gives Fibonacci sequence.

6. Hexagonal pattern:
 
The product of alternate three numbers in the hexagon is equal to the product of the remaining three alternate numbers.

Let's check the given property by taking any two hexagons from the Pascal's triangle.
 
Hexagonal shape
Product of first three alternate numbers (green colour)
Product of remaining three alternate numbers (blue colour)
Same / Not Same 
PT_6.png
 \(1 \times 1 \times 3 = 3\)
  \(1 \times 1 \times 3 = 3\)
Same
PT_7.png
   \(4 \times 10 \times 15 = 600\)
 \(6 \times 5 \times 20 = 600\)
Same
 
Therefore, the product of alternate three numbers in the hexagon is equal to the product of the remaining three alternate numbers.
