Assembling Objects Test Flashcards

In an Assembling Objects connector problem, you see a shape with a dot near its upper-left corner and another shape with a dot near its lower-right corner. A line must connect both dots. Which answer shows the correct assembly?

Answer: The line connects the upper-left corner of shape 1 to the lower-right corner of shape 2

In connector problems, the line must connect exactly the dot locations shown on each shape. The dot is at the upper-left of shape 1 and lower-right of shape 2, so the line connects these two specific points.

You are shown 4 puzzle pieces that must fit together to form a square. Piece 1 has a convex tab on its right side. Which piece must have a corresponding concave notch to fit with Piece 1?

Answer: The piece to the right of Piece 1

A convex tab on the right side of Piece 1 must fit into a concave notch on the left side of the piece positioned to Piece 1's right. Matching tabs and notches must be mirror images of each other.

In an Assembling Objects question, you see a triangular piece and a rectangular piece. The triangle has a dot near its apex (top point) and the rectangle has a dot near its left-center edge. The line connecting them must:

Answer: Connect the apex of the triangle to the left-center edge of the rectangle

The connecting line always runs from the dot location on each shape to the dot location on the other. The dot is at the triangle's apex and at the rectangle's left-center edge, so the line connects these exact points.

Four irregular puzzle pieces must assemble to form a rectangle. Piece A has a straight top edge. Piece B has a straight right edge. Piece C has a straight bottom edge. Piece D has a straight left edge. Where must Piece A be positioned in the final assembly?

Answer: Top of the rectangle

Piece A has a straight top edge, which must form part of the outer border of the rectangle. The top edge of the assembled rectangle must be straight, so Piece A belongs at the top.

A 3D connector problem shows a cylinder with a dot at its top circular face and a cube with a dot on its right face. Which image correctly shows these objects connected?

Answer: A line from the top face of the cylinder to the right face of the cube

The dot is on the cylinder's top face and on the cube's right face. The connecting line must start at the cylinder's top face and end at the cube's right face.

In an Assembling Objects jigsaw problem, you must form a circle from 5 pieces. Piece 1 and Piece 2 share an interior boundary. Piece 1's boundary edge is a smooth convex arc curving outward. What must Piece 2's boundary edge look like where it meets Piece 1?

Answer: A smooth concave arc curving inward that mirrors Piece 1's convex arc

When two puzzle pieces share an interior boundary, the edge of one piece must be the mirror image of the other's. A convex (outward) arc on Piece 1 requires a concave (inward) arc of matching curvature on Piece 2 for them to fit together.
