Non-verbal reasoning: Composite 3D figuresIn some non-verbal reasoning questions you’ll be asked to put groups
of blocks together to make a larger 3D figure.
• Imagine you are solving a 3D jigsaw or building with Legoblocks. (In fact, make some time to do some Lego building.It’s great non-verbal reasoning practice... and more funthan a worksheet!)• Mentally break down the shape on the left into itscomponent shapes.• Remember that the shapes might have been rotated beforethey were put together.• Part of the gure might be hidden from view, so it couldbe hard to work out what blocks make it up. If you’re unsure,work out what the required blocks could be and how each ofthem would t with the options you have available.
Tips:
Looking at an aggregate3D figure, made up of two or more
individual 3D shapes, you’ll need toidentify the pieces that have been added
together to make it.

Put the theory into practice with some sample questions.
In these questions, the figure shown on the left is a 3D object.Find TWO OR MORE figures on the right that combine to form the object on the left.

Remember, you’re looking for two or more shapes to
combine; in this case it’s three.
Answers:
Think about where the different shapes might ‘close up’the gaps between blocks.
Figure C is placed in front of figure B to make the new3D shape.
Remember that some of the blocks might be hidden from view, as is the case here.
The last cube in figure D is completely hidden from view inthis composite shape, so this i s a tricky question!
Some of figure C’s blocks fill the gap in f igure B.
Figure B has been rotated and figure D have beenadded together in a vertical orientation.
Figure B has been rotated 90 degrees and placedvertically, then added to the back of figure C, so notall of it can be seen in this view.
