To solve this problem, we need to understand what happens when a shape rotates 180 degrees. A 180-degree rotation means the shape is turned halfway around a point, so it ends up upside down and facing the opposite direction.
Let’s go row by row:
Row 1 (Blue square with small circle):
Original: Square with small circle in bottom-right corner.
After 180° rotation: The square stays the same shape, but the circle moves to the top-left corner.
Looking at the options:
- First option: circle in bottom-right → no
- Second option: circle in bottom-left → no
- Third option: circle in top-left → YES
- Fourth option: circle in bottom-right → no
✔ Correct answer for Row 1: Third shape
Row 2 (Purple hexagon with triangle cutout):
Original: Hexagon with a triangular notch on the right side.
After 180° rotation: The notch will be on the left side, and the whole shape flips vertically too.
Looking at the options:
- First option: notch still on right → no
- Second option: notch on left, flipped → YES
- Third option: notch on left but not flipped correctly → no
- Fourth option: notch on top → no
✔ Correct answer for Row 2: Second shape
Row 3 (Blue shape like a dome on rectangle):
Original: Dome on top of rectangle.
After 180° rotation: Dome should be on bottom, rectangle on top.
Looking at the options:
- First option: dome on top → no
- Second option: dome on bottom, rectangle on top → YES
- Third option: dome on bottom but sideways → no
- Fourth option: tilted → no
✔ Correct answer for Row 3: Second shape
Row 4 (Purple teardrop with triangle pointing left):
Original: Teardrop pointing down, triangle pointing left.
After 180° rotation: Teardrop points up, triangle points right.
Looking at the options:
- First option: teardrop down, triangle left → no
- Second option: teardrop down, triangle right → no
- Third option: teardrop up, triangle left → no
- Fourth option: teardrop up, triangle right → YES
✔ Correct answer for Row 4: Fourth shape
Row 5 (Blue puzzle piece with notch on top):
Original: Puzzle piece with notch on top edge.
After 180° rotation: Notch should be on bottom edge.
Looking at the options:
- First option: notch on top → no
- Second option: notch on bottom → YES
- Third option: notch on side → no
- Fourth option: notch on top → no
✔ Correct answer for Row 5: Second shape
Final Answer:
Row 1: Third shape
Row 2: Second shape
Row 3: Second shape
Row 4: Fourth shape
Row 5: Second shape
