- First, look closely: The image displays a worksheet titled "Analogies" with six rows of visual patterns. Each row presents a relationship between two shapes on the left (e.g., `△ : △`) followed by a colon and then a single shape on the right (e.g., `□ : ___`). The task is to complete the analogy by determining what shape should replace the blank space based on the established pattern. The patterns involve changes in shape, orientation, or filling (solid vs. outline). For example, in the first row, a triangle becomes a filled triangle, so the square should become a filled square. I need to analyze each row's pattern to find the correct answer for each blank.
- Next, find information: I will analyze each row one by one to determine the rule and the missing shape.
- Then, review the findings:
- Row 1: `△ : △` :: `□ : ?` — The first triangle is an outline, the second is solid. This suggests the pattern is "outline to solid." Therefore, the square should become a solid square.
- Row 2: `□ : ■` :: `○ : ?` — The square becomes a solid square. The same pattern applies: outline to solid. So, the circle should become a solid circle.
- Row 3: `○ : ◎` :: `△ : ?` — The circle becomes a circle with a dot inside. This is a different pattern: adding a feature (a dot) to the center. Applying this to the triangle, it should become a triangle with a dot inside.
- Row 4: `□ : ▨` :: `○ : ?` — The square becomes a square with diagonal lines (hatched). The pattern is "adding a fill pattern." So, the circle should become a circle with a hatched fill.
- Row 5: `□ : ⨳` :: `○ : ?` — The square becomes a square with an 'X' inside. The pattern is "adding an 'X' inside." So, the circle should become a circle with an 'X' inside.
- Row 6: `△ : ▽` :: `■ : ?` — The triangle flips upside down. The pattern is "vertical flip." So, the solid square should be flipped vertically, which would look the same since it's symmetrical, but if we consider the orientation change, it remains a solid square.
- Final Answer:
- Solid square
- Solid circle
- Triangle with a dot inside
- Circle with a hatched fill
- Circle with an 'X' inside
- Solid square
