UDEE Figural Reasoning Patterns 4

Question 1

A sequence shows shapes losing one side with each step: hexagon, pentagon, square, ___. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Triangle

Answer

Each shape loses one side, so after a square (4 sides) comes a triangle (3 sides).

Question 2

In a 3x3 matrix, each row contains a circle, square, and triangle. The first two columns are filled; the third column has a circle in row 1 and triangle in row 2. What shape belongs in row 3, column 3?

Accepted Answer

Square

Answer

Each row must contain all three shapes exactly once, so the missing shape is a square.

Question 3

A figure is reflected across a vertical axis. The original has a star in the top-left corner. Where does the star appear in the reflection?

Accepted Answer

Top-right

Answer

A vertical reflection flips left and right, moving the top-left star to the top-right.

Question 4

Each figure in a series is the previous figure rotated 45° clockwise. If the first figure points up, what direction does the fifth figure point?

Accepted Answer

Down-left

Answer

After four 45° clockwise rotations (4 × 45° = 180°), the figure points in the opposite direction, which is down — but the fifth is 4 steps from figure 1, so 180° = pointing down... wait: figure 5 is 4 rotations × 45° = 180° from up, which is down. The answer is Down.

Question 5

A pattern alternates between a filled black square and an outlined square, doubling in size each step. The third figure is a filled black square of medium size. What is the fourth figure?

Accepted Answer

Large outlined square

Answer

The pattern alternates fill/outline and doubles size, so after a medium filled square comes a large outlined square.
