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)?

Solution

The question asks to identify which two of the four drawings (A, B, C, D) are the same as the object on the left (object X). To solve this:

  • The object X on the left has a specific 3D structure consisting of several cubes in a zigzag formation, with two vertical and two horizontal segments.

  • Now, let's analyze each option:

    • A looks very similar to X but rotated. It has the same number of cubes and the same orientation for the segments.
    • B has a different structure; the bottom part of B doesn't match the bottom part of X, so B is not the same.
    • C also matches the same number of cubes and orientation as X, suggesting it's the same object but viewed from a different angle.
    • D has the same general form as X, but its structure is slightly different, especially in how the cubes are aligned.

Thus, A and C represent the same object as X but viewed from different angles.

The correct answer is A and C.
