Visualize yourself in the problem above as you
reread it. List the facts and the question.

Facts: No two prisms or pyramids are to be side by side.
fourth figure — 6 congruent faces
square pyramid—to the right of the figure
with a curved surface
Question:What is the order of the solids?

Use the clues in the problem and logical
reasoning to find the correct order.

Solve each problem. Use logical reasoning to help you.
0 1. Ms. Geldof wants to place these five solids
in a row so that no two prisms or pyramids
are side by side. From the left, the fourth figure
should have six congruent faces. The square
pyramid should be to the right of the figure with a
curved surface. What is the order of the solids?

0 2. An acute angle is to an equilateral triangle
as a right angle is to a.

0 3. Abby, Kara, Ed, and Ben each drew a different
pattern. Match each person with the pattern each
drew if Ben’s pattern has exactly 6 right triangles,
Abby’s has 6 squares and 4 pentagons, and Ed’s
has 12 trapezoids and 8 right triangles. Which
pattern did each person draw?

0 4. Find two ways Rose can complete this analogy:
180° is to a triangle as ° is to a.

0 5. Find two ways Larry can complete this analogy:
7 is to 49 as 5 is to.

0 6. Use polygons and geometric solids to make up
your own analogies.
