Hint 3 of 3
When the second copy is drawn, see which lettered dot the line touches.
Show solution
Approach: copy the pattern onto the grid and see which dot it hits
- The new copy begins where the first pattern stops and uses the same grid squares.
- Redraw the same zig-zag, going up and down by the same number of squares as before.
- The corner of the repeated pattern lands exactly on point D.
