Plane figures

Question

hi tutor,

me and my daughter confused some home work problems.  Please explain for us each question and the answer thank you very much.

 

1.  Fran draw a Venn Diagram with two circles and labels the circles " Polygons with Parallel sides" and " Quadrilaterals with Parallel sides."  Which figure belongs only in the circle labeled "Polygons with parallel sides? 

     A.   Hextagon

     B.  Rhombus

     C.  Parallelogram rectangle

     d.  square

 

 

2.  Enrique has the craft sticks shown.  Name the possible polygons Wnrique can make. 

 

3.  Anita has 2 long pencils of equal lenght and 2 shorts pencils of equal lenght.  If she arranges them so that the long pencils and short pencils are opposite and parallel, which figure does she make?

         A.  Trapezoid

         B.   Rhombus

         C.  Square

         D.  Parallelogram 

     We pick d for answer.

   

Answer 1

Q1.  Do you mean hextagon or hexagon?  The last three are parallelograms, and therefore, by definition, are polygons with parallel sides.

 

Also, all hexagons don't have any parallel sides unless they are regular or they may have only 2 parallel sides.

Answer 2

Question 1

 

Polygons are figures that have 3 or more sides.  The sides can be of equal length or different length.  Quadrilaterals are figures that have 4 or more sides and only 2 pairs of parallel sides (each pair of equal length).  The prefix "quad" means 4 and the suffix "lateral" means line or side.

 

Your answer to this question is (A) Hexagon.

 

 

Question 2

 

A diagram is needed for this question.

 

 

Question 3

 

Your answer is (D) Parallelogram.
