A wedge shape is to a diamond shape as a vertical bar is to which of the given figures?
Show Hint
Look at what happens to the curved edge of the wedge when it becomes a diamond, it turns into a sharp point. Apply the same change to the flat right edge of the bar.
Step 1: Understand the given pair. The first figure is a wedge shape. It has a single sharp point on the left and a curved edge on the right that bulges outward.
Step 2: See what changes when the wedge becomes a diamond. The diamond keeps the sharp point on the left, but the curved edge on the right has been replaced by a matching sharp point. The top and bottom edges also pull in to meet at points, so the whole figure becomes a four pointed shape with no curve left in it at all. The rule at work here is simple: any rounded or flat edge on the far side of the figure gets converted into a sharp point, while the near side, which is already pointed, stays as it is.
Step 3: Apply the same rule to the vertical bar. The bar is a plain rectangle. Its left edge is flat and its right edge is also flat, with no point and no curve anywhere. Following the rule from Step 2, the left edge of the bar should stay flat, since it plays the same role as the already pointed left side of the wedge, while the flat right edge must turn into a sharp point.
Step 4: Match this to the options. Option 1 and option 2 are plain squares, both unchanged rectangles with no point added, so neither matches the transformation. Option 4 shows the right edge turning into a curve, a rounded D shape. That is the opposite of what happened in the first pair, where a curve turned into a point, not the other way round. Option 3 keeps the left edge flat and turns the right edge into a single sharp point, exactly matching the wedge to diamond change.
Final Answer: The bar is to option 3, the pentagon shaped figure with a pointed right end. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 3}} \]
