A shape has a concave (inward-curving) notch on its right side. Which piece would fit perfectly into that space?
Answer: A piece with a convex (outward-curving) bump on its left side
A convex bump is the complementary shape to a concave notch — they interlock perfectly.
A large circle has a dot at its 3 o'clock position. A small triangle has a dot at its apex (top vertex). How are they connected in the correct answer?
Answer: The circle's 3 o'clock edge touches the triangle's apex
The dot at the circle's 3 o'clock and the dot at the triangle's apex are the two connection points that must meet.
A square piece and a triangular piece together account for all parts of a figure. The triangle's hypotenuse matches the length of one side of the square. Where does the triangle attach?
Answer: Flush along one side of the square, forming a house/pentagon shape
When a triangle's hypotenuse equals a square's side length, it fits flush along that side, creating a pentagon (house shape).
A figure is cut into four equal pieces by one horizontal and one vertical cut through its center. What is true about each piece?
Answer: All four pieces are identical in size and shape
Cutting through the center horizontally and vertically divides the figure into four congruent (identical) pieces.
Two right triangles, each with legs of 3 cm and 4 cm, are placed with their hypotenuses together. What shape is formed?
Answer: A rectangle
Two congruent right triangles placed hypotenuse-to-hypotenuse form a rectangle whose sides equal the legs of the triangles.
An irregular polygon piece has tabs (protrusions) on its north and south sides, and slots (indentations) on its east and west sides. Which neighboring piece would fit on its east side?
Answer: A piece with a tab on its west side
A slot requires a tab to fill it; the east-side slot needs a piece whose west side has a matching tab.
A circle is divided into 6 equal sectors (like pizza slices). If 2 sectors are removed, what fraction of the original circle remains?
Answer: Two-thirds
Removing 2 of 6 equal sectors leaves 4/6, which simplifies to two-thirds of the original circle.
