Correct Answer:
Look at the answer choices first and eliminate openings that are clearly the wrong shape or proportion
Question 2
In the Apertures subtest, an object's SILHOUETTE when traveling through an aperture is determined by the object's cross-section perpendicular to its direction of travel. A solid right circular cylinder with its axis horizontal is pushed through an aperture along its axis. What shape will the aperture need to be?
Correct Answer:
A circle
Question 3
A solid right circular cylinder (radius 2 cm, height 6 cm) is pushed through an aperture horizontally, perpendicular to its flat circular face (i.e., along its length). What is the minimum aperture shape needed?
Correct Answer:
A rectangle 4 cm wide and 6 cm tall
Question 4
In the DAT PAT Apertures subtest, a common trap is choosing an aperture that matches the object's front view but is the wrong SIZE relative to the object. Which principle helps you avoid this trap?
Correct Answer:
The aperture must match the object's cross-section exactly — no larger, no smaller
Question 5
