Question 1

A matrix shows figures where the number of shapes inside a rectangle increases by 2 each row: row 1 has 2, row 2 has 4. How many shapes are inside the rectangle in row 4?

Accepted Answer

8

Answer

The sequence is 2, 4, 6, 8 — row 4 contains 8 shapes.

Question 2

In a pattern, a small shape appears inside a medium shape, which appears inside a large shape. If the outer shape is always a square, the middle is always a circle, what is the innermost shape if it changes to a triangle in this example?

Accepted Answer

Triangle

Answer

The innermost shape is explicitly stated to be a triangle in this example.

Question 3

A matrix has three columns. Each column's shapes decrease in the number of sides: column 1 has hexagons, column 2 has pentagons. What shape is in column 3?

Accepted Answer

Square

Answer

Hexagon (6) → pentagon (5) → square (4), so column 3 contains squares.

Question 4

A pattern grid shows that shapes in the top row are all white, shapes in the middle row are all striped, and shapes in the bottom row are all black. A new column is added. What fill does the shape in the middle row have?

Accepted Answer

Striped

Answer

The fill is determined by the row rule, so any shape in the middle row is striped.

Question 5

In a series, each figure is the previous figure rotated 180°. If figure 1 is an arrow pointing up-right, what direction does figure 3 point?

Accepted Answer

Up-right

Answer

Two 180° rotations equal 360°, returning figure 3 to the original up-right direction.
