Question

question 1 of 10

what is the polygon being rotated to create the brown quilt block pattern?

a. square
b. parallelogram
c. triangle
d. rectangle

Explanation:

Identify the repeating unit in the pattern

The quilt block pattern is a star shape composed of alternating brown (patterned) and blue (solid) points meeting at a central vertex. Looking closely at one of the individual colored sections (for example, a single brown point), it is a four-sided polygon with two pairs of parallel sides.

Classify the polygon

Each individual block or point of the star is a quadrilateral where opposite sides are parallel and equal in length, but the angles are not right angles. This geometric shape is a parallelogram.

Verify the rotation

Rotating this single parallelogram around the central point of the star creates the complete symmetric quilt block pattern.

Answer:

• A. Square
• B. Parallelogram (Correct answer)
• C. Triangle
• D. Rectangle
