A transparent square sheet shown above is folded along the dotted line. The folded sheet will look like ___________.
View worked solution
Answer: B
When a transparent sheet is folded along a line, the pattern on one side of the fold is reflected (mirrored) onto the other side.
Step-by-Step Analysis:
- Identify the Fold Line: The dotted line is the diagonal running from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner.
- Direction of Fold: Looking at all the options, the bottom-left half of the sheet is empty, which means the bottom-left half is folded over onto the top-right half.
- Apply Reflection:
- The diagonal acts as a mirror line.
- The small triangle located near the bottom-left corner reflects across the diagonal to the top-right corner.
- The circle with the dot near the bottom edge reflects to a corresponding position near the right edge.
Comparing these reflected positions with the given choices, Option B correctly represents the combined pattern on the top-right half of the sheet.
