These questions involve 2-dimensional shapes that have
been cut-up into pieces. You are asked to match the pieces to the
shape that they came from.
Example Question
1) Which of the complete shapes can be made from the components
shown?
Answers
1) B – is the only shape that can be made from the components
shown.
The best strategy for answering these questions is to look at
the Complete Shapes and see if there are any distinct features
that would make it impossible to construct such a shape from the
components. In the example above, this is not very obvious but
sometimes there are one or two shapes that can be immediately
discounted on the basis of size alone.
One thing to remember is that if the Complete Shapes don’t have
any bits ‘sticking out’ (they usually don’t) then the components
must fit together so that sides of the same length are together.
This reduces the number of combinations considerably.
