Shading and Fill Pattern Rules Flashcards

A matrix shows fill proportion increasing per row: row 1 is 1/4 filled, row 2 is 1/2 filled, and row 3 is ___?

Answer: 3/4 filled

Fill proportion increases by 1/4 per row, making all row 3 cells consistently 3/4 filled.

Each column has a consistent fill style throughout the matrix: column 1 has diagonal stripes, column 2 has dots, and column 3 has solid fill. The missing cell is in column 3. What fill does it show?

Answer: Solid fill

Column 3 always uses solid fill regardless of the row, as fill style is determined by column position.

A matrix has a no-repeat shading rule: no two cells in the same row share a shade. Row 3 shows black in column 1, white in column 2, and ___ in column 3?

Answer: Gray

With black and white already used in row 3, gray is the only remaining shade that satisfies the no-repeat rule.

A matrix's shading decreases one step per row from top to bottom: row 1 is dark, row 2 is medium, and row 3 is ___?

Answer: Light

Each row decreases one shade step downward from the previous, making row 3 the lightest shade.

Each figure is divided into four quadrants, with the shaded quadrant rotating clockwise one position per column: column 1 shades top-left, column 2 shades top-right, and column 3 shades ___?

Answer: Bottom-right

Rotating the shaded quadrant clockwise 90° from top-right gives bottom-right for column 3.

A matrix shows shading complexity increasing per column: column 1 is outline only, column 2 adds inner fill, and column 3 adds what additional element?

Answer: An outer dot border

Each column adds one shading element, so column 3 completes the sequence by adding an outer dot border.
