Based on the figure, it can be inferred that the text within __________ represents physical steps performed during the panel production process,
Scanning the graph, we see that only the text within rectangles names physical actions, such as Rip, Join, and Cut.
For the first dropdown, select rectangles.
and the minimum number of physical steps required to complete a panel with a compound slash, ready to be ended, trimmed, and inserted into a garment, is __________.
To find the answer for the second dropdown, we first locate "compound slash" in the flowchart. The only mention of "compound slash is in the diamond labeled V, which contains the text "Want compound slash?"
So, to find the minimum number of steps to required for completing a panel with compound slash, we must find the shortest path from (Start) to (End, trim, and insert into garment) that passes through <Want compound slash?>.
Let's begin by finding the shortest path from (Start) to <Want compound slash?>.
That path is the following:
(Start) -> <Choose method, color, and size> -> (B) -> [Rip 1 stripe] -> [Cut] -> <Enough for maximum unit?> -> Yes -> <Want compound slash?>
That path includes 2 physical steps: [Rip 1 stripe] and [Cut].
Now, let's find the shortest path from <Want compound slash?> to (End, trim, and insert into garment).
That path is the following:
<Want compound slash?> -> Yes -> [Arrange] -> <Invert> -> No ->[Offset & Sew] ->
<Slash complete?> -> Yes -> (End, trim, and insert into garment)
That path also includes 2 physical steps: [Arrange] and [Offset & Sew].
So, 2 + 2 = 4 physical steps are required for completing a panel with a compound slash.
For the second dropdown, select 4.
Correct answer: rectangles, 4
