For the love of god, what is the answer to number 7!!

[Auntiedear]

Please, please can someone tell me the answer to number 7 on this worksheet (and why!)

It is for my niece's homework and neither me or my partner know the answer. Thank you 😊

You've got 6 wrong, that should be d. Both the shape and the pattern are switched.

7 is a or d, but I am not sure which one. Just thought I'd bump it for you.

A

Each successive image has an additional mirror plane. So the next one needs four planes.

I agree with above and both would be d for me.

Is number 7 the one with the shapes showing lines of symmetry? If so, I'd suggest D because the lines of symmetry of the shapes in the square on the left show two, then three, then four equal parts and the star in D has 5 equal parts.

But that is just a guess. We probably need a better photo that shows the question/ instructions as well as the diagram.

A , the lines show the places the shape can be folded over and match the other side . Probably a better description will follow . First shape has one line , second two , third three, fourth four . Can’t remember the proper name for it though

Definitely A. Also agree with pp that the answer to the Q above is D not A.

I'm included to agree with this now I've read the explanation, I initially thought it was something to do with the shape being viewed at an angle rather than straight on.

A - increasing lines of symmetry by one each time.

And yes-the one above is D

yup, both D!

It's A as the shapes are cut into 2, 4 ,6 segments so you need 8

Top one is D as the shape and colour are transposed

The shapes are in pairs though aren’t they? Rather than a sequence of 4. So you are asking what has happened to shape 1 to make it shape 2. Then apply that to shape 3 to give you shape 4?

The first answer is D second answer is A imo

Why does anyone really need to know this? Is it a life skill im lacking?

Both are D. In question 7, the number of internal lines is half the sides of the external shape. In 6, the shading and shapes are reversed from
tbr image on the left

A

I agree 6 is d.
if 7 works the same I’m not sure about the sequence going 1,2,3 lines of symmetry. I’m looking at them as pairs but maybe going down rather than across. Probably d again but not sure.

The answer to 7 is A, I think, the shapes are divided into 2, 4, 6, so the next one needs to be divided into 8.

@Theo1756 Thought you had it then but the first shape has 4 sides and one line inside so doesn’t fit that rule.

6 is D, 7 is A. For 7, even if you treat it as two pairs of images, you're adding two lines of symmetry in the top pair so you need to do the same for the bottom pair.

The first one is definitely D. My first thought for the second one was D because of increasing lines of symmetry, but now that people have said A I can see where that reasoning is coming from too.

6D, 7A.

I think no 7 is A.

I don't think any of the possibilities are right for no 6! If you're comparing left to right, it's not A or D because the shapes haven't changed, and it's not B or C because the shadings haven't been swapped over. If you're comparing top to bottom, none of the possibilities has a diamond outer shape.

Those who are voting for D, why do you think it's irrelevant that that would arise from a simple shape/size/colour exchange, whereas the top row has a shape change as well?

It's A.

You take the first picture, and see that the "fold line" creates a mirror image. The second image copies the fold line(s) from image one, and adds two more of its own.

It can't be D, as it doesn't have the horizontal fold line, as per the first image. A does.

And yes, you've got Q6 wrong, but plenty have explained why.

@MontyDonsBlueScarf if you look closely at the top line in 6, the inner shape is a hexagon. The two shapes swap inner to outer, there is no shape change.
