in the above problem, I see E as a possible correct ansr, but isn't it too small? and why is C wrong?? explanation says cuz it should be a rectangle not a square....but from the problem given, isn't it shouting at you square??
I would have never guessed its a rectangle the way its drawn like that, am I the only one??

and for this one E seems severly out of proportion for the back/front view, how could it be the answer???? am I going crazy!!!

oh yea and these problems are from a reliable source too
 
if the line going away from from you (from front to back) is longer than the line drawn to be closest to you, than that line (front-to-back) will always be longer. this is what makes it a rectangle, and not a square. if the situatuion is flip flopped, ie the front-to-back line is shorter than the line drawn closest to you, you need to make a best guess as to the relative lengths.

i like choice E for the first one.

for the second one, they are all bad, but i would have chosen E because, proportionally, it makes sense. it is the only logical choice. A is okay, but it is not wide enough relative to the height.

hope that helps
 
C appears to be shaped like a square. This means that the outline of the figure must in some way have a dimension that is of a square. The figure does not.

E is the correct answer. Simplest way to explain it is imagine holding a dreidel right befone you spin it. now you are ready to insert the figure with the smaller length facing you.

yea, that's what i was trying to do, but that line going away from me from front to back still looks the same length as the line drawn closest to me

I don't know how can you guys see a difference between them, i have done this problem several times and every time i miss it, they just look the same length, but thanks anyways
