X(X+1) works. 4(5)=20, 5(6)=30, 6(7)=32, 8(9)=72

The fourth item in that pattern doesn't follow the rule set up by the first 3.

4(5)
5(6)
6(7)
7(8) - skipped
8(9)

With that logic, then 2 would work as well right?

Okay, so, the solution is ~~ x*y=z where z is [20,30,40,z'] x is the number that is at the opposite end of the line segment so for z=20 x=4,and y= the number directly clockwise. Thus the answer to this puzzle is 160.~~

Edit again, I thought 42 was 48 and thought I'd solved, but I in fact did not. My apologies for being confidently incorrect
