NNAT3 Spatial Reasoning 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A square is folded in half diagonally, then folded in half again. When unfolded, how many fold lines are visible?
- 1
- 2 (Correct answer)
- 3
- 4
Correct answer: 2
Each diagonal fold creates one crease, so two folds produce two fold lines.
Question 2: Which shape has exactly 4 lines of symmetry?
- Rectangle
- Square (Correct answer)
- Rhombus
- Parallelogram
Correct answer: Square
A square has 4 lines of symmetry: two through opposite sides and two through opposite corners.
Question 3: A shape is reflected across a vertical line. Which property changes?
- Size
- Orientation (left-right flip) (Correct answer)
- Number of sides
- Color
Correct answer: Orientation (left-right flip)
Reflection across a vertical axis flips the shape left-to-right while preserving size and number of sides.
Question 4: A cube is cut in half with a horizontal slice through the middle. What is the shape of the cross-section?
- Triangle
- Circle
- Rectangle
- Square (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Square
Cutting a cube horizontally through the middle produces a square cross-section.
Question 5: A pattern shows triangles rotating 90° clockwise each step. If the first triangle points up, which direction does the fourth triangle point?
- Up
- Right
- Down (Correct answer)
- Left
Correct answer: Down
After three 90° clockwise rotations (3×90°=270°), the triangle points down.
Question 6: Two identical right triangles are placed together along their hypotenuses. What shape do they form?
- Square
- Rectangle (Correct answer)
- Rhombus
- Kite
Correct answer: Rectangle
Placing two congruent right triangles hypotenuse-to-hypotenuse forms a rectangle.
Question 7: An object viewed from the front looks like a circle. Viewed from the side it looks like a rectangle. What is the object?
- Sphere
- Cone
- Cylinder (Correct answer)
- Cube
Correct answer: Cylinder
A cylinder appears as a circle from the top/bottom and as a rectangle from the side.
