Congruent segments are used to form equilateral triangles in this sequence so that each figure contains one more triangle than the preceding figure. Figure 3 of the sequence is made with seven congruent segments. How many congruent segments must be used to make Figure 25 of the sequence?

It takes 2 additional segments to create an additional triangle after the first. Since Figure $n$ has $n$ triangles, Figure 25 has 25 triangles. It takes 3 segments to create the first triangle and $2\cdot24=48$ segments to create the 24 additional triangles, for a total of $3+48=\boxed{51}$ segments.
