Which of the options below can be rearranged to make image Q?
Show Hint
In rearrangement puzzles, create a mental or written inventory of the pieces from the target image first (count, shape type, size, color). Then, systematically check each option against your inventory. Don't be misled by the arrangement; focus only on the collection of pieces.
Step 1: Understanding the Question:
This is a visual puzzle based on the principles of a Tangram. We need to identify which of the options (A, B, C, D) contains the exact same set of geometric shapes that are used to construct the figure in image Q. The shapes can be rotated or re-positioned, but the set of shapes must be identical. Step 2: Analyzing the Shapes in Image Q:
Let's break down image Q into its component pieces:
1 large red triangle
1 medium-sized blue triangle
2 small green triangles
1 small black square
1 black parallelogram
This is a non-standard set of tangram-like pieces. We must find the option that contains this exact inventory of shapes. Step 3: Detailed Explanation (Analyzing the Options):
Option A: Contains 1 large blue triangle, 1 medium green triangle, 2 small red triangles, 1 black square, and 1 black parallelogram. The colors and sizes do not match the set from Q.
Option B: Contains 1 large red triangle, 1 medium blue triangle, 2 small green triangles, 1 small black square, and 1 black parallelogram. This set perfectly matches the components of image Q.
Option C: Contains 1 large red triangle, 1 medium green triangle, 1 small blue triangle, 1 small black triangle, 1 black square, and 1 red parallelogram. This set is completely different.
Option D: Contains 1 large red triangle, 1 medium blue triangle, 2 small green triangles, 1 small black square, and 1 black parallelogram. This set also perfectly matches the components of image Q.
Step 4: Final Answer:
Both options B and D contain the exact set of shapes required to form image Q. The provided answer key confirms that both B and D are correct.
