please help and explain your answer

 

[jdent]

I am going with choice B
D is wrong because the piece sticking out on right side.
From the end view you can see that the rectangle on right ( narrower rectangle) is shorter than the rectangle on left (bigger rectangle), therefore C is wrong because that dotted line on right top should not be there
Choice A has a little extra piece on bottom left which shouldn't be there.

 

[klutzy1987]

Im pretty sure that the answer is C.
It cant be A or D because from the top view we can see that one side is slanted and the other side is completely flat.
Now you can eliminate B because you need that dotted line to extend all the way to the top because there is a hole there that goes all the way through, as evidenced by the fact that it can be seen from the top view.
That leaves only C.
This question is a pretty difficult one though.

 

[klutzy1987]

I am not seeing this problem very well so if I am wrong someone please say so and exlpain why.

I'm going with B. I agree with everything jdent said. When you are looking from the top, the right vertical rectangle is lower than the left vertical rectangle. You can confirm this from the end view.

I am thinking that there is no left rectangle, it is actually a hole. The right rectangle starts on the bottom and only goes halway up and then there is a space there too. I dont see whats wrong with my logic.

I also got C.

Because in the top view you see a solid line between the two rectangles which suggest a change in elevation. Then in the end view you see that the rectangle directly facing you (the narrower rectangle) has solid lines which means it extends all the way to the top and the larger rectangle does not.

So it must be C

 

[tRNA]

I also think it's C, but the correct answer is B,
B makes No sense to me at all, I guess its just one of those ugly ones, hopefully dat is not like that

 

[flycd05]

i also got C - i don't get how this is B b/c if it was B, then the top view cannot have 2 different elevations designated by a solid line between the 2 rectangles - therefore, it has to be C.

where is this question from?

I'm still seeing B. Let me try to explain what I'm seeing better. In the top view, the middle vertical rectangle is a hole. The left vertical trapezoid is at a higher elevation than the right vertical rectangle. The two horizontal shapes are also at the same elevation as the left vertical trapezoid. Knowing that, now look at the end view. You can see the difference in height between the rectangle (in the front in the end view) and the trapezoid (in the back in the end view). This difference in height means choice C is wrong because the right vertical dashed-line in choice C should only go halfway up (It represents the side of the shorter rectangle).

Hope that made sense. If not, I guess I could try throwing the picture into microsoft paint and using it to better explain myself.

I a prettu sure that its C, the reason why there is a second dashed line on top on the right, is because it is a hole and you cant see either side of the hole because it is blocked by the front.

where is th hole?!??!?!???!????!?!?!?

 

[klutzy1987]

The hole is the entire left rectangle. The right rectangle starts on the bottom and only goes halfway up.

 

[jdent]

no look at the end view see the doted lines that means the wall u see is higher up

 

[futuredent22]

The right rectangle starts on the bottom and only goes halfway up.

Right, which explains why the answer is B. The right vertical dashed line in the front view represents the left side of that rectangle, the side inward toward the hole. Since that rectangle only goes up halfway, the dashed line can only go up halfway.

 

[futuredent22]

no look at the end view see the doted lines that means the wall u see is higher up

No, in the end view if the front wall was higher than the back wall then the entire horizontal line going through the image would be dashed (representing the top of the hidden lower wall). Thats not the case here. We see the solid horizontal line in the endview, representing the top of the front, shorter wall.

Would the originator opst the damn answer lol. I wanna know.

He already did post the answer. 😀

 

[futuredent22]

Is this how the real TFE questions are? Hopefully this is representative of the more challenging questions and isn't your average DAT TFE question.

OK, I understand why it is B now.

Hey klutzy, you may be thinking it is C for the same reason I was. That is the fact that in the end view I neglected to notice the solid line in the middle which indicates a change in elevation.

 

[klutzy1987]

I said right away that I am having a tough time seeing this one, The TFE on the DAT are usually not this difficult.

 

[td4azklz]

Wow, that really hurt my eyes looking at it for that long. But I agree now as well that the answer choice is B. Good question i have to say.

 

[NuckingFutz]

Same boat with Joe 🙁

When it comes to TFE, half the time its a huge gamble between 2 choices. I spend way to much time trying to decipher what's what. This is why I like crack dat since it gives you a 3d representation afterwards 😵
