These questions are similar to the cube questions above, but
rather than cubes they use other solid shapes which may be
irregular. In some respects, these questions are easier than the
cube questions as there are more relationships to work with. In
other words, each face of the solid shape has a shape of its own
rather than just being square.
Example Question
1) Which of the solid shapes shown could be made from the pattern?
Answers
1) D is correct. Shape A can be eliminated because is shows an
un-shaded face below a triangular face, both of these faces (below
the triangular face) are shaded on the pattern. Shape B can be
eliminated as it has a shaded roof above the shaded side, which
does not appear on the pattern. Shape C can be eliminated because
is shows an un-shaded face below a triangular face, both of these
faces (below the triangular face) are shaded on the pattern.
Once again, you can reduce these problems to the relationship
between the visible elements on the 3-dimensional picture. This
makes thinks easier because even though the solid shape may have
more faces than a cube, it is unusual for more than four faces to
be shown. This means that you need to consider the relationship
between the four visible faces, paying particular attention to
shading or other patterns on them.
