Math Problem Statement

Indicate the figure that completes the sequence.

Solution

The image shows a sequence of shapes with a prompt in Dutch that translates to "Indicate the figure that completes the sequence." The problem is likely asking you to identify the next shape in the pattern.

To solve this, let's analyze the pattern:

  1. First Shape: An "L" shaped figure made of 3 squares.
  2. Second Shape: A "Z" shaped figure made of 4 squares.
  3. Third Shape: An "L" shape rotated and extended, now made of 5 squares.
  4. Fourth Shape: A more complex shape with 5 squares forming a cross.

The pattern seems to add one square each time and often changes the orientation or structure. To complete the sequence, the next figure might continue this pattern, likely involving 6 squares, possibly in a more complex arrangement.

Given this, the correct answer should be the figure that adds another square to the previous shape while following the rotational or structural change. Since the image is cut off, the missing piece or the next figure is likely one that combines these features. From typical patterns, the shape could be a more extended or rotated version of the current figures.

Would you like a more detailed breakdown of how to approach such problems or have any questions?

Here are five related questions that can expand your understanding:

  1. How do you recognize patterns in geometric sequences?
  2. What are the common strategies to determine the next figure in a sequence?
  3. How does rotational symmetry play a role in completing sequences?
  4. Can adding or subtracting elements change the complexity of such problems?
  5. What is the importance of spatial reasoning in pattern recognition?

Tip: When trying to identify the next shape in a sequence, always look for changes in size, orientation, and the number of elements involved.
