Question 1. Alina folds the image below along the dashed line. Which of the following squares folds onto an identical one? First, let's fold the image along the dashed line. Notice  how the squares that end up overlapping with each other are in the same column and are the same distance apart from the dashed line. Comparing the regular bottom half with the  flipped top half, we can see that this square here circled in red is the only square that's the same in both layers. Therefore, our answer will be B.

Video Summary

The video explains how to identify which square will align with an identical one when the image is folded along a dashed line. By folding the image, overlapping squares in the same column and equidistant from the dashed line are compared. The analysis shows that only one specific square (circled in red) matches perfectly in both the regular bottom and flipped top halves, identifying the correct answer as option B.
