UDEE Figural Reasoning and Patterns 3

Question 1

A sequence shows figures with 1, 4, 9, 16, and 25 dots arranged in square grids. How many dots will the next figure contain?

Accepted Answer

36

Answer

The sequence is perfect squares (1², 2², 3², 4², 5²), so the next term is 6² = 36.

Question 2

A 3×3 matrix shows shapes where each row contains a circle, triangle, and square in some order, and each column also contains each shape exactly once. The top row is circle, triangle, square and the middle row starts with triangle. What shape is in the bottom-left cell?

Accepted Answer

Square

Answer

Column 1 already has circle (top) and triangle (middle), so the bottom-left must be square.

Question 3

A series of circles is shown: the first is fully shaded, the second has the right half shaded, the third has the right quarter shaded. Which best describes the fourth circle?

Accepted Answer

Right eighth shaded

Answer

Each step halves the shaded area while keeping it on the right side, so the fourth circle has the right eighth shaded.

Question 4

A figure sequence shows an arrow pointing right, then rotated 45° counterclockwise to point up-right, then pointing up, then pointing up-left. What direction does the fifth arrow point?

Accepted Answer

Left

Answer

Each arrow rotates 45° counterclockwise; after four 45° steps from right (0°), the fifth arrow points left (180°).

Question 5

In a visual analogy, a solid black square is to a hollow square outline as a solid black triangle is to:

Accepted Answer

A hollow triangle outline

Answer

The transformation removes the fill while keeping the same shape, so a solid black triangle becomes a hollow triangle outline.
