Math Problem Statement

Which two of the four drawings on the right show the same object as the one depicted on the left (object X)?

Which two of the four drawings on the right show the same object as the one depicted on the left (object X)?

Solution

To determine which two drawings (A, B, C, or D) match the structure of object XX, we need to carefully analyze and compare their orientations and configurations.

Step-by-Step Analysis:

  1. Shape Analysis of XX:

    • Object XX consists of a "zigzag" shape formed by a 3D arrangement of blocks.
    • Observing the relative orientation of the blocks, we see that it makes two turns: one in a horizontal plane and one in a vertical plane.
  2. Comparison with Each Option (A, B, C, D):

    • Option A: The structure has a similar zigzag form with two turns, but the orientation of the blocks does not match object XX.
    • Option B: This structure has a close resemblance to XX in terms of block configuration and orientation.
    • Option C: The shape does not match; the blocks are arranged differently from those in XX.
    • Option D: This also closely matches XX in terms of both configuration and orientation.

Conclusion:

The correct answers are B and D, as these two match the structure and orientation of object XX.
