Question

read the passage and answer the following question(s). this diagram shows the relationships between 7 four - sided figures. each figure has all of the properties of any other figure or figures it is drawn inside of. 1. why is the figure 7 outside of the figure 2? a. figure 7 has two angles with the same measure. b. figure 7 has a height that is larger than its width. c. figure 7 does not have the same dimensions as the other figures. d. figure 7 has only one pair of parallel sides.

Explanation:

Figure 2 appears to represent a parallelogram - like figure (since it contains rectangles and rhombuses which are special - cases of parallelograms). Parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides. Figure 7 is a trapezoid which has only one pair of parallel sides. So, it does not meet the criteria of having two pairs of parallel sides like the figures inside figure 2.

Answer:

D. Figure 7 has only one pair of parallel sides.
