I have to solve a puzzle in a game. It gives me differents weight from 1 to 9 and a math problems, which is triangle plus triangle plus triangle equal square plus square which equal 1 otagon. I must find the answer using the weights from 1 to 9 only once. I would appreciate your help and thank you.

I don't understand the question. What do you mean you have to answer using the weights?

I think you mean square = 3.

But I wonder - if we alter the problem a bit so that each of the six objects must have a different weight between 1 and 9, then these answers would work:

Triangles = 1, 3, and 4
Squares = 2 and 6
Octogan = 8

or

Triangles = 1, 3, and 5
Squares = 2 and 7
Octogaon = 9

or

Triangles = 2, 3, and 4
Squares = 1 and 8
Octogaon = 9
