Video Summary

Lucas can color the five rectangles in 6 different ways, ensuring adjacent rectangles have different colors. By choosing the center rectangle's color first and alternating the surrounding colors, two main combinations appear: when the center is blue, the adjacent ones can be red-yellow or yellow-red. These patterns repeat by swapping colors, considering three options for the center (red, blue, or yellow). Ultimately, with these configurations, there are six distinct ways to color the rectangles.
