Question

explain why any rectangle can be dissected into two congruent trapezoids in many different ways
choose the correct answer below
a. start at opposite vertices. use two different distances, a and b, from the vertices to make points on opposite sides of the rectangle. connect these points. different trapezoids are formed with different values of a and b
b. start at opposite vertices. use the same distance, a, from the vertices to make points on the opposite sides of the rectangle. connect these points. different trapezoids are formed with different values of a
c. start at opposite vertices. use the same distance, a, from the vertices to make points on the adjacent sides of the rectangle. connect these points. different trapezoids are formed with different values of a
d. start at adjacent vertices. use the same distance, a, from the vertices to make points on the opposite sides of the rectangle. connect these points. different trapezoids are formed with different values of a

Explanation:

To get two congruent trapezoids from a rectangle, start at opposite vertices. Use the same distance, a, from the vertices to make points on the opposite sides of the rectangle and connect them. Different values of a will give different trapezoids.

Answer:

B. Start at opposite vertices. Use the same distance, a, from the vertices to make points on the opposite sides of the rectangle. Connect these points. Different trapezoids are formed with different values of a
