Hint 3 of 3
Trace the floor shape the cubes sit on and match it to a picture.
Show solution
Approach: look straight down and trace the floor shape
- Pretend you are flying right above the cubes and looking down.
- From up there you cannot tell how tall a stack is — you only see the flat shape it covers.
- Draw that flat shape and match it: it is the picture in option B.
