A jigsaw puzzle has 2 pieces. One of the pieces is shown above. Which one of the given options for the missing piece when assembled will form a rectangle? The piece can be moved, rotated or flipped to assemble with the above piece.
To solve this spatial aptitude problem, we need to identify which of the given options, when combined with the jigsaw piece shown above, will form a complete rectangle. Let's analyze this step-by-step:
- Observe the shape of the given piece and note its edges. It's crucial to visualize how these edges will align with the edges of the options.
- Consider that the piece can be moved, rotated, or flipped. This flexibility allows us to try various alignments with each option.
- Examine the options one by one:
- Option 1:
- When you rotate this piece, it matches perfectly with the given piece, forming a complete rectangle. The notches and extensions interlock completely.
- Option 2:
- Even after rotation or flipping, this piece leaves gaps and does not align properly with the given piece.
- Option 3:
- This piece also fails to interlock precisely, with some parts protruding beyond a rectangular form.
- Option 4:
- Similar to the previous options, this piece does not fit perfectly with the given piece to form a rectangle.
- Option 1:
- Based on the above analysis, Option 1 is the piece that forms a perfect rectangle when combined with the given piece.
Conclusion: The correct option is Option 1, as it meets all the criteria for forming a rectangle with the given piece.
Important Questions from Assembling Shapes

The figure shows two 4-tile patterns.
Either one or both of the patterns can be used any number of times and in any orientation to construct a new pattern. Which one of the options below cannot be constructed by using only these two 4-tile patterns assuming there are no overlaps among them?The four pieces of a puzzle are shown in the figure below.
Which one of the figures labelled as P, Q, R, and S can be constructed by using each of the four pieces only once without overlaps?
