OC Spatial and Visual Reasoning 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A shape has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles. What is it called?
- Rectangle
- Rhombus
- Square (Correct answer)
- Trapezoid
Correct answer: Square
A square has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles.
Question 2: If you rotate a triangle 180° around its center, the result is:
- A mirror image facing the same direction
- The triangle upside-down (Correct answer)
- A circle
- The triangle unchanged
Correct answer: The triangle upside-down
A 180° rotation turns the triangle upside down relative to its original position.
