A large circle contains a small triangle inside it. The next figure shows the circle with the triangle removed but a small square added outside. Which transformation rule applies?
Answer: Inner shape removed, outer shape gains an external attachment
The transformation removes the internal element and places a new, different shape outside the original figure.
A pentagon is divided into 5 equal sectors, all shaded. In the transformed figure, alternate sectors are unshaded. What type of transformation occurred?
Answer: Alternating fill removal
The transformation removes shading from every other sector, creating an alternating filled/unfilled pattern.
A square has arrows pointing outward from all four sides. In the analogy pair, a triangle has arrows on all three sides. If the square's arrows are reversed to point inward, what happens to the triangle?
Answer: The triangle's arrows also point inward
The same transformation (reversing all arrows to point inward) applies consistently to the analogous figure.
Figure A shows a diamond outline; Figure B shows a diamond filled solid black. Figure C shows a hexagon outline. What is Figure D?
Answer: A hexagon filled solid black
The transformation from outline to solid fill applies to the hexagon the same way it applied to the diamond.
A right triangle points upward. After transformation it points to the right. A second right triangle points to the left. After the same transformation it points:
Answer: Downward
A 90-degree clockwise rotation moves upward to right and leftward to downward.
Shape A is a large rectangle with a small circle in the top-left corner. Shape B is a large rectangle with a small circle in the bottom-right corner. The circle has moved:
Answer: Diagonally across to the opposite corner
The small element shifts diagonally from one corner to the diagonally opposite corner.
In an analogy, a bold-bordered square becomes a thin-bordered square. A bold-bordered circle would become:
Answer: A thin-bordered circle
The transformation changes border weight from bold to thin, preserving the shape.
