Figure matrices practice
A is to B as C is to…? Work out how one figure changes, then apply it. How these questions work →
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the number of shapes changes from 3 shapes to 1 shape. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own shape and direction. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives a grey semicircle turned a quarter clockwise.
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the direction changes from upright to upside down. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own number of shapes and shape. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives three black L-shapes upside down.
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the colour changes from white to black and from left to right the direction changes from turned a quarter anticlockwise to upside down. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own number of shapes. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives two black semicircles upside down.

The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the shape changes from triangles to semicircles and from left to right the number of shapes changes from 2 shapes to 3 shapes. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own direction. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives three white semicircles turned a quarter clockwise.
