What is the minimum number of straight line segments used to form the following figure?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The number of minimum line segments can be calculated by counting the longest line segments :
The outer square is made out of 4 line segments
The number of such line segments = 5
Similarly, in the opposite direction same number of line segments were made
This makes up the minimum number of line segments that make up this figure = 4 + 5 + 5 = 14
