Question

kk.14 compose two-dimensional shapes: which shapes can y...

Explanation:

Identify the given shapes

The given shapes at the top are two rectangles:

• One smaller rectangle (nearly a square) on the left.
• One longer rectangle on the right.

Analyze the options

We need to determine which of the composite shapes can be made by putting these two rectangles together without overlapping:

• Option 1 (Top-Left): A trapezoid-like shape with a slanted top edge. Rectangles only have right angles (\(90^\circ\)), so putting them together cannot create a slanted edge.
• Option 2 (Top-Right): An arrow shape. This shape contains a triangle (the arrowhead) with slanted edges, which cannot be formed by combining two rectangles.
• Option 3 (Bottom-Left): A T-like shape (or hat-like shape) made of a vertical rectangle standing on top of a horizontal rectangle. This shape is composed entirely of perpendicular horizontal and vertical edges, matching the composition of two rectangles.
• Option 4 (Bottom-Right): A shape with a long slanted edge, which cannot be formed by combining two rectangles.

Select the correct composition

The bottom-left shape is formed by placing the smaller rectangle vertically on top of the longer horizontal rectangle.

Answer:

• (A) Trapezoid-like shape with a slanted top edge
• (B) Arrow shape with a pointed tip
• (C) T-like shape made of a vertical rectangle on a horizontal base (Correct answer)
• (D) Triangle-like shape with a slanted edge and a small step
