Question 1

A flat shape is folded along a dashed center line so that the left half lands exactly on the right half. The result is a shape half the width of the original. If the original was a rectangle 8 cm wide and 5 cm tall, what are the dimensions of the folded shape?

Accepted Answer

4 cm wide and 5 cm tall

Answer

Folding along the vertical center halves the width (8÷2=4 cm) while the height stays the same at 5 cm.

Question 2

Shape A has a dot at its leftmost point. Shape B has a dot at its topmost point. In the correctly assembled figure, the leftmost point of A is connected to the topmost point of B. Where does Shape B appear relative to Shape A?

Accepted Answer

To the left of Shape A, with B's top touching A's left

Answer

For A's leftmost point to meet B's topmost point, B must be positioned to the left of A so B's top edge reaches A's left point.

Question 3

A hexagon is divided into 6 equilateral triangles. If you remove one triangle and reconnect the remaining 5, what is the minimum number of sides the new shape can have?

Accepted Answer

5

Answer

Removing one triangle from a regular hexagon creates a 5-sided (pentagon) indentation, yielding a shape with 5 outer sides at minimum.

Question 4

Two L-shaped pieces are mirror images of each other. When placed together correctly, what shape do they most likely form?

Accepted Answer

A rectangle

Answer

Mirror-image L-shapes interlock to fill each other's missing corner, forming a complete rectangle.

Question 5

A dot is placed at the midpoint of the top side of a square. A second shape's dot is at its bottom-right corner. In the assembled figure, these dots are connected. Where is the second shape?

Accepted Answer

To the upper-right of the square, with its bottom-right corner touching the square's top midpoint

Answer

The second shape's bottom-right corner must land at the square's top midpoint, placing the second shape to the upper-right.
