Question 1
Q. Which images look similar and which ones look different?
- Two images look similar if they have the same shape and maintain the same height-to-width ratio (proportions), regardless of size.
- If an image is stretched either horizontally or vertically, its aspect ratio changes and the image looks distorted or different.
Step 1 · Analyze Reference Image A
Image A displays the tiger in its normal, undistorted form, serving as the standard reference for shape and proportions.
Step 2 · Compare Image B with Image A
The tiger in Image B appears wider and shorter. It has been stretched horizontally, changing its height-to-width ratio.
Step 3 · Compare Image C with Image A
Image C is a smaller version of Image A. The shape and proportions are maintained exactly without any distortion.
Step 4 · Compare Image D with Image A
Image D is an enlarged version of Image A. The shape and proportions are maintained exactly without any distortion.
Step 5 · Compare Image E with Image A
The tiger in Image E appears taller and thinner. It has been stretched vertically, altering its height-to-width ratio.
Step 6 · Group Similar and Different Images
- Similar Images: A, C, and D maintain the original proportions and shape.
- Different Images: B (stretched horizontally) and E (stretched vertically) have distorted proportions.
- Similar images: A, C, and D
- Different images: B and E
- Confusing Size with Shape: Thinking that a smaller or larger image (like C or D) is "different". If the height-to-width ratio is unchanged, the images remain geometrically similar.
- Ignoring Directional Stretch: Not distinguishing between horizontal stretching (Image B) and vertical stretching (Image E).
